I left my home when I was 20
I left my family and my friends
Took all I owned and that was plenty
I put those friendships to an end
I headed out to California
To see those southern cali lights
I never made my destination
But then I never thought I might
Now I'm stuck up in the mountains
And everything's turned out alright
I'm just Indiana dreaming
On a cold Montana night
Got a call one Sunday morning
They say mama's not to well
She might not make it through the winter
Daddy said the doctors just can't tell
Ya gone make it home by summer
We sure would like to see ya son
You'd think by now you'd be tired of running
Should I tell your mama that you'll come
But I'm stuck up in the mountains
Everything's turned out alright
I'm just Indiana dreaming
On a cold Montana night
We buried mama late that summer
Up beside ole sorghum creek
Not before I made a promise
And that's a promise I must keep
Cause I'm leaving the mountains
And everything's going to be alright
I'm heading back to Indiana
On a cold Montana night
Yes I'm leaving the mountains
Everything's gone be alright
I'm heading back to Indiana
To see my family tonight
