In the world of businessmen I'm just a farmer.
Farmin' in my blood so I'm here in Indiana
with the 20 acres, harvest the vegetables
Dogs that watch the sheep bumpin' each other
Get the tractor and put it in neutral
Plowin' the fields with some steers that are out of control
Wife is in the barn milkin' all the cows.
Watchin' TV with native David Letterman.
Someone keeps sayin' I'm insane to complain
About my huntin' shotgun and my girl whose a slut.
Breathe all the clean air that you can breathe.
I that those beatles in the toilet and them maggots in my house.
So pick the corn, make some mace in the dark
Land next to me's bein' cleared and used for a trailer park

(yo plow it)

Chorus
It's not paradise
I'm a Hoosier baby so why don't you kill me?
(What the Hell did you shoot)
It's not paradise
I'm a Hoosier baby, so why don't you kill me?

Havin' no money is a farmer's nightmare.
Playin' folk music with a phony acoustic.
Hen eaten by a weasel and the duck by a wolf.
Feedin' newborn kittens goin' back to my house
With a basket of eggs and a dead chicken.
Takin' care of my pigs, feeding them slop.
I hunt myself killin' twenty deer.
Cut the turkey's neck so I can eat some of that great meat.
You can't grow if you just can't plant.
Outside slaughtering beef for the people to consume.
What is worse is my barn is bein' eaten by termites
Choppin' wood, gettin' splinters

It's not paradise
I'm a Hoosier baby so why don't you kill me?
(get crazy with the cotton)
It's not paradise
I'm a Hoosier baby so why don't you kill me?
(Can't go to Ball State))
(yo burn the barn down)
Itttttttt's.......
(I'm a farmer I'm a Hoosier things are gonna change I can feel it)
It's not paradise
I'm a Hoosier baby so why don't you kill me?
(I can't believe you)
It's not paradise
I'm a Hoosier baby so why don't you kill me?
It's not paradise
I'm a Hoosier baby so why don't you kill me?
[repeat]
(Can't speak English properly)
It's not paradise
I'm a Hoosier baby so why don't you kill me?
(Know what I'm sayin'?)
