[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
