Standard (EADGBE)

Got a tow, from a guy named Joe

cost sixty dollars hope I don't run out of dough

told me about a sex offense put him three days in jail

stuck in indianapolis hope I live to tell the tale

chorus, same chords:

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 hometown

Is this hell or Indianapolis with no way to get around

Called my girl to tell her of the trouble that I had

first time I called her in 10 days, I guess I made her mad

Far as she's concerned I belong in his Hoosier state

stuck in Indianapolis with no way to set things straight

chorus, then harmonica lead over one verse of chords

Sittin in this bar it's gettin more than I can stand

if I could catch a ride I really think I'd ditch this band

Who knows what this repair will cost, scared to spend a dime

I'll puke if that jukebox plays John Cougar one more time

strum

but if I ever leave here I hope never to return

If I get that van back man, the road I'm gonna burn

Right now my future's in the hands of them boys down at Firestone

stuck in Indianapolis, feelin' all alone.

chorus, repeat last line

harp solo over one verse and out
