Every night she begs for a husband
One man who’ll fix the malfunction
She dreams up his name, what’s she gonna say when he sweeps her off her feet
But even if the piece fits what happens if it doesn’t
Every morning she puts on her makeup
She sings “There is Power in the Name of Jesus”
She prays, “Please take this away, I know You don’t make mistakes, I’ll do anything
To make love like I’m supposed to.”
She’s got a girl in Indiana and a Bible by her bed
Everybody’s trying to speculate what Jesus never said
She tries to walk the straight and narrow in somebody else’s dress
She’s got a girl in Indiana and a Bible by her bed
Her daddy says he’s got the solution
Line ‘em all up in the backyard and shoot ‘em
Bet he’d have a change of heart if he knew his baby daughter was one of those “sickos”
Sometimes Christians ain’t too Christian
She’s got a girl in Indiana and a Bible by her bed
Everybody’s trying to speculate what Jesus never said
She tries to walk the straight and narrow in somebody else’s dress
She’s got a girl in Indiana and a Bible by her bed
There’s a bridge runs over 440
She walks out, says “Whatcha got for me?”
Nowhere to go but down, no other way but out, Lord help me now
Two hands on the rail, one more sad story
Oh, two hands on the rail, one more sad story

A very clever songwriter and an album that bears many, many repeat listens. Worth the price for the Little Feat reference (in Tehachapi) alone, but it's her way with an image that sticks longest. "You left the building in a flurry / Had your boots on in the house." Caoimhín
