A song from the perspective of a witness to the Kennedy assassination. He ruminates on his own mortality, longing sadly for the simplicity of his life back in Kokomo, Indiana (and, implicitly, life without knowledge of the tragedy he has just watched unfold).
Visitors From Indiana Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Somebody up there went crazy
Started shooting down here below
Other than that, I can't say, see
I live up in Kokomo
Well my wife loved the pretty little pillbox hat
Children thought Texas had snow
Told 'em life was full of disappointments
We live up in Kokomo
[Chorus]
If it can happen to you
Then it can happen to me
Oh, I miss Indiana
And I wish I knew
Now what I knew then
Oh, I miss Indiana
[Verse 2]
Got a brother from the Wildcat River
Standin' over by the grassy knoll
Got a wife that'll make you shiver
She's back up in Kokomo
I got a sister that's around here somewhere
She prob'ly missed the whole damn show
She ain't been right since he left her
Sittin' there in Kokomo
[Chorus]
If it can happen to you
Then it can happen to me
Oh, I miss Indiana
And I wish I knew
Now what I knew then
Oh, I miss Indiana
[Verse 3]
Guess I oughtta call my friends and my family
I'm sure they're listenin' to the radio
Something like this can hurt you
All the way to Kokomo
Well I wonder what the girl is gonna do now
Left her roses in the car, God knows
We'll buy her a baker's dozen
If she ever comes to Kokomo
[Chorus]
If it can happen to you
Then it can happen to me
Oh, I miss Indiana
And I wish I knew
Now what I knew then
Oh, I miss Indiana
[Verse 1, reprise]
Somebody up there went crazy
Started shooting down here below
Other than that I can't say, see
I live up in Kokomo
