[Verse]
Dm
She don't miss the PCH or the California waves
C G
No she don't
Dm
She don't see adobe skies
Cause she's got green in her eyes
C G
Yes, she does
Dm
Walked away from everything
Am
Left behind a silver screen
G
Years ago
Dm
And if you as her why she left
E7 Am
She'll put out her cigarette and say
G D
You know
F
I got smart and moved to Iowa
C
Where nobody could bother me no more
Dm
She wanted her own garden
C G
With a big old basset hound out on the porch
Dm
She used to wear her wedding rings
C G
Now the only gold she sees is in the corn
Dm
She once loved the leading man
Am
And built her castles in the sand
G
Years ago
Dm
And if you ask her why she ran
E7 Am
She'll reach out and take your hand and say
G D
You know
F
I got smart and moved to Iowa
C
Where I got what I need and nothing more
E7 Am
You spend your time surrounded by a million faces
E7 Am
You'll spend your life knocking on doors
E7 Am
There is a world where you can move at slower paces
D G
And people aren't so scared of getting bored
Dm
Now she's in her favorite chair
F C
With her coffee and the laundry on the line
Dm
She don't miss the roles she played
F C
But she thinks about the stage from time to time
Dm
Movie sets and curtain calls
E7
Broken love and alcohol
Am D
She didn't need to have an encore
She said
F
I got smart and moved to Iowa
C
Where everybody has an open door
Dm
I got smart and moved to Iowa
Am G D
Where nobody could bother me no more
F
I got smart and moved to Iowa
Fm C
And this is where I'll be forevermore
