Everything is slower here

Go to church of their choice

Cook out in the backyard

And they call this the Great Midwest
他们将这里称为伟大的中西部
Where the cornfields grow and flow
这里的大片玉米地里生长着玉米
They're all 5 years ahead of their time
他们都超前了五年的时光
Or 25 behind I just don't know

And all the young men talk

About their 4 wheel drives

And they like to brag about

Hey let's get drunk

Party it up start a fight
