  IOWA

       I've gone to start a new life

       I've gone to be with my wife.

       I'm going to have fun, in

       the city of Burlington.  

       My dear, I have a lot of fear that

       there's nothing for me here.

       Everybody else gets to have a girlfriend.

       I've tried and tried and tried.  I've cried and cried and cried.

       I played the game.  I went insane.

       I need a new way.  I need a new day.

       I want my search to end.

       I want to see, why not me.    

         I'm going home.  I'll never again be alone.

     I tried it dear.  

     I want you to understand.
