[Chorus]
I'm goin' back to Indiana
Indiana, here I come, yeah yeah yeah
I'm goin' back to Indiana
That is where my baby's from (Come on!)

[Verse 1]
I spread my wings for greener pastures
I still ain't found what I was after
I've got the blues and that is why I sing
I just wanna do my thing

[Chorus]
I'm goin' back to Indiana
Indiana, here I come yeah, yeah
I'm goin' back to Indiana
That is where my baby's from

Ok Tito, you got it!

[Guitar Solo]

[Chorus]
I'm goin' back to Indiana
Indiana here I come, yeah
I'm goin' back to Indiana
That is where my baby's from

[Verse 2]
Hollywood, you got a lot of pretty things
I saw a lot of movie stars with diamond rings
But I ain't got my baby and I'm feelin' wrong
That's why I gotta sing my song

[Chorus]
I'm goin' back to Indiana
Indiana here I come, yeah yeah
I'm goin' back to Indiana
That is where my baby's from
Ooohhh

I'm comin' I'm comin' I'm comin' I'm comin' I'm home yeah, yeah
Oh, yeah
Hey!

[Bridge]
Ha ha, Sis Boom Bah
One more time for Roosevelt High
Johny Ray, Tex, Scooter and Lorenzo too
Watch T W Brown do the boogaloo
Ev'ry soul that passes by
This song's for you from the Jackson 5
I'm comin' home this plain to see
I still got Indiana soul in me!

Oh yeah, oh yeah, alright!

[Chorus]
I'm goin' back to Indiana
Indiana here I come, yeah yeah
I'm goin' back to Indiana
That is where my baby's from
That's where she is, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Oh, yeah, yeah, baby

Well, one more time!

[Bridge]
Ha ha, Sis Boom Bah
One more time for Roosevelt High
Johny Ray, Tex, Scooter and Lorenzo too
Watch T W Brown do the boogaloo
Ev'ry soul that passes by
This song's for you from the Jackson 5
I'm comin' home this plain to see
I still got Indiana soul in me!

Oh yeah, oh yeah, alright!
Oh, yeah
Okay now, everybody sing along, come on

[Chorus]
I'm goin' back to Indiana, come on
Indiana here I come, sing along
I'm goin' back to Indiana
That is where my baby's from
That's where she is, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah (Yeah, yeah, yeah)
Oh, yeah, yeah, baby
