Missouri To Iowa

Chorus

Missouri maps and a prison bus

Ten long years finally behind us

They sent him South but I stayed right there

Met at the Buckhorn with the plastic in the air

I love you Jeff I love you Jeff

(I love you Jeff)

Verse 1

Shift change clicking on the concrete aisle

Telling me secrets with a crooked smile

He had to leave when the law called back

Suitcase packed for a Northern track

Everyone whispered honey do not go

But they do not see what I already know

Pre-Chorus

Packing up the car with a little man

Giving him your name is the only plan

He calls you Dad and he means it true

Searching for the life we found in you

Chorus

Missouri maps and a prison bus

Ten long years finally behind us

They sent him South but I stayed right there

Met at the Buckhorn with the plastic in the air

I love you Jeff I love you Jeff

(I love you Jeff)

Post-Chorus

Step it left

Slide it right

Monkey behind you

Holding on tight

Verse 2

The Iowa wind is cold and wide

But it feels like heat on the Harley ride

Engine roaring while we hit the lake

Choosing you was the best move I could make

Now we got jet skis and a steady home

No more feeling like we’re out here alone

Pre-Chorus

A decade later and we’re still on track

I promised you I would always have your back

He calls me Monkey and it sounds like gold

Stronger than any story we were ever told

Chorus

Missouri maps and a prison bus

Ten long years finally behind us

They sent him South but I stayed right there

Met at the Buckhorn with the plastic in the air

I love you Jeff I love you Jeff

(I love you Jeff)

Post-Chorus

Step it left

Slide it right

Monkey behind you

Holding on tight

Drop

Ride it ride it

Jet skis flying

Ride it ride it

Never leave you crying

Iowa bound

Look what we found

I love you Jeff

Ten years strong now

Chorus

Missouri maps and a prison bus

Ten long years finally behind us

They sent him South but I stayed right there

Met at the Buckhorn with the plastic in the air

I love you Jeff I love you Jeff

(I love you Jeff)
