Heard they're polite in Indiana

And that the kids have good manners in Kansas

And the lake state folks never tend to boast bout their money

What have they got in the water?

They'd lend a hand before fixing their collar

But I'm afraid that that somebody's daughter would never do that

I bet she gets it from her momma

Starts conversations just to let them die

She makes me feel like I'm the problem

Midwest manipulator messed me up a hundred times

She told me that she thinks I'm awesome

Then tells my friends that I'm a deadbeat guy

She shoulda said proceed with caution

Midwest manipulator come out here and ruin my life

Winter in Maine is like torture

And they sell empty dreams in California

And the Lone Star State tends to burns so great got me sweatin

Some folks are cut from the rust belt

Other folks spin up a lie like a cartwheel

I'm startin' to think that somebody's daughter don't know where's she's from

I bet she gets it from her momma

Starts conversations just to let them die

She makes me feel like I'm the problem

Midwest manipulator messed me up a hundred times

She told me that she thinks I'm awesome

Then tells my friends that I'm a deadbeat guy

She shoulda said proceed with caution

Midwest manipulator come out here and ruin my life

(Mess me up)

Ruin my Life

Midwest manipulator come out here and ruin my life
