I could almost see you running through the summertime
The Indiana grass above your knees
With the leaves and the waters mocking you in pantomime
Can I go swimming, can I daddy, please?

But it's a long, long way from the Wabash to the Hudson, girl
And the first place that it shows is in your eyes
There within I see the dim reflection
Of long forgotten dreams and summer skies

Come on in and-a kick-a your dusty shoes off
Sing-a sing us a song of way back when
Sing-a sing us a song of Indiana one more time
And you can be your daddy's girl again

The silky way of moving down life's highway
Forever seeking what lay round the bend
One day somehow she chanced to happen my way
Cause a girl it seems can always use a friend

An island, just a little bit of shelter, Lord
For one of God's own creatures gone astray
Some loving and another cup of coffee
To pass the time until she's on her way

Come on in and-a kick-a your dusty shoes off
Sing-a sing us a song of way back when
Sing-a sing us a song of Indiana one more time
And you can be your daddy's girl again

Come on in and-a kick-a your dusty shoes off
Sing-a sing us a song of way back when
Sing-a sing us a song of Indiana one more time
You can never be your daddy's girl again

Come on in and-a kick-a your dusty shoes off
Sing-a sing us a song of way back when
Sing-a sing us a song of Indiana one more time
And you can never be your daddy's girl again
