about

This is a song about being in love with a person because they are representative of the shadow side of a place you love.

lyrics

In the place where you grew up
the houses all burn down
In that town. In the town

Where your father dressed the dead
girl you hated all his words, now they're
in your head
So you buy your gin at the five and dime
then you all stand around in a parking lot
for a good time

N*E*B*R*A*S*K*A

And it's not that I was raised
to look down on folks like you
just maybe not to look you in the eye

you know, sex has a way of seeping through
Nebraska I was awfully
in love with you.
