about

hi thanks for listening!

simply, this song is about being sad and deciding not to be sad anymore.

"iowa" is many things in this song; friends, lovers, myself, god, and also literally the state of iowa.

"iowa" not only sounds nice to sing, but also works as the extended metaphor because although its a very pretty place, there is not much to do there other than drive through and contemplate.

at the end the character leaves iowa, leaving both the literal state, and a state of sadness. iowa was not bad or good, but a necessary part of the jouney onwards.

lyrics

gud mornin ioowa
