The Hookhunters - Iowa Windmills Lyrics

You're in a sad situation not going anywhere
You feel that it's time for a change
So you head towards the sunshine out there in the West
Leaving your home town for some place strange
You say goodbye to loved ones and everything you've known
To take a chance and find the rainbow's end
But what you find out there may not be the thing you're looking for
It's hard to be a stranger with no friends

Iowa windmills spinning 'round
They're the gateway to the golden west
Don't get caught in the blades while you're running away
The greener grass ain't always the best

So you hop a Greyhound bus with a suitcase and a prayer
And tell the driver take me far as you can
But as you search for something better you just might get lost
And the cost you paid you'll finally understand
You arrive and find a crash pad for a dance and a song
But still you find everything is wrong
You have to change the way you're thinking and not the soil you tread upon
Please come back east where you belong

Iowa windmills spinning 'round
They're the gateway to the golden west
Don't get caught in the blades while you're running away
The greener grass ain't always the best

Until you find a clear direction in your heart and in your mind
Wandering around will just kill time
Maybe you've been knockin' on the wrong doors
Or the wrong ladder you're trying to climb

Iowa windmills spinning 'round
They're the gateway to the golden west
Don't get caught in the blades while you're running away
The greener grass ain't always the best
The greener grass ain't always the best
