Covered Bridges, Starry Nights: Indiana’s Tale

A country song about Indiana, celebrating its rivers, fields, covered bridges, and the spirit of the Midwest with heartfelt lyrics and melodies.

 LYRIC:

Down by the Wabash River, where the sunsets glow,  

Tulip trees are dancing, swaying soft and slow.  

Cardinals sing their hymn, a tune of sweet reprise,  

In the heart of Indiana, my spirit freely flies.  


Oh, Indiana, where dreams are born,  

Where the rolling plains meet the morning dawn.  

Covered bridges and rodeo nights,  

We'll dance under stars, everything feels right.  

Oh, Indiana, you're my melody,  

In this corn country, you're the song in me.  


By the shores of Lake Michigan, feel that salty air,  

Peonies blooming bright, love is everywhere.  

Down the Wabash and Erie Canal,  

Life's a simple pleasure, and I want it all.  


Oh, Indiana, where dreams are born,  

Where the rolling plains meet the morning dawn.  

Covered bridges and rodeo nights,  

We'll dance under stars, everything feels right.  

Oh, Indiana, you're my melody,  

In this corn country, you're the song in me.  


Potawatomi whispers, tales carved in stone,  

Shawnee stories linger, in the land they called home.  

Sunday supper's laughter, candles casting light,  

Memories of Indiana fill my soul each night.  


Oh, Indiana, where dreams are born,  

Where the rolling plains meet the morning dawn.  

Covered bridges and rodeo nights,  

We'll dance under stars, everything feels right.  

Oh, Indiana, you're my melody,  

In this corn country, you're the song in me.  


So here's to my Indiana, where my heart will stay,  

In every little moment, in every sunny day.  

With the Wabash River flowing, love will always be,  

Oh, Indiana, you're the dream in me.

Hillbilly Music: From Appalachian Roots to Global Legacy
