The Truth About Iowa Lyrics
Standing at a crossroad, snow falling down.
Misery loves company and a companion could be found.
What started as a conquest had ended in defeat.
The way we were, the things we said, and all I won't repeat.
New Year's Eve ain't all it's cracked up to be.
I've seen the best and heard the worst and everything in between.
Eighteen hours is such a long, long time
And the sting of painful words destroy us inside.
Our silence can say so much and our words pack a painful punch.
Nothing can take away the memories of that day
And I was so sure that we'd fade away.
Fade away.
Adversity makes us stronger
so can we make this last a little longer?
Can we put aside the competition that resides in all of us,
In all of us?
I know it's in me and I've seen it in you,
But I set my sights on seeing this one through.
I am gonna see it through.
I know that we'll never fully agree,
But it's worth my time and it's worth the risk
Because this is family.
Misery loves company and a companion could be found.
What started as a conquest had ended in defeat.
The way we were, the things we said, and all I won't repeat.
I've seen the best and heard the worst and everything in between.
Eighteen hours is such a long, long time
And the sting of painful words destroy us inside.
Our silence can say so much and our words pack a painful punch.
Nothing can take away the memories of that day
And I was so sure that we'd fade away.
Fade away.
so can we make this last a little longer?
Can we put aside the competition that resides in all of us,
In all of us?
I know it's in me and I've seen it in you,
But I set my sights on seeing this one through.
I am gonna see it through.
I know that we'll never fully agree,
But it's worth my time and it's worth the risk
Because this is family.

Good song about getting along with others that might not be all that easy to be around.
