Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Got a tow
From a guy named Joe
Cost sixty dollars
Hope I don't run out of dough
[Verse 2]
Told me 'bout a sex offense
Put him three days in jail
Stuck in Indianapolis
Hope I live to tell the tale
[Verse 3]
Can't go west, can't go east
I'm stuck in Indianapolis
With a fuel pump that's deceased
Ten days on the road now
I'm four hours from my home town
Is this Hell or Indianapolis
With no way to get around
[Verse 4]
Called my girl to tell her
Of the trouble that I'd had
First time I called her in ten days
Guess that made her mad
[Verse 5]
Far as she's concerned
I belong in this hoosier state
Stuck in Indianapolis
With no way to set things straight
[Verse 6]
Can't go west, can't go east
I'm stuck in Indianapolis
With a fuel pump that's deceased
Ten days on the road now
I'm four hours from my home town
Is this Hell or Indianapolis
With no way to get around
[Verse 7]
Sittin' in this bar
Is gettin' more than I could stand
If I could catch a ride
Really think I'd ditch this van
[Verse 8]
Who knows what this repair'll cost
Scared to spend a dime
I'll puke if that jukebox plays
John Cougar one more time
[Verse 9]
But if I ever leave here
I hope never to return
If I get that van back
Man, the road I'm gonna burn
[Verse 10]
Right now, my future's in the hands
Of the boys, down at Firestone
Stuck in Indianapolis
Feelin' all alone
[Verse 11]
Can't go west, can't go east
I'm stuck in Indianapolis
With a fuel pump that's deceased
Ten days on the road now
I'm four hours from my home town
Is this Hell or Indianapolis
With no way to get around
[Verse 12]
Is this Hell or Indianapolis
With no way to get around
