"The Ballad of Indiana"
Lyrics by Glen Nelson and Todd Howard
March 29, 2008

Take a look at my face
See it's wild and worn
And this hat upon my head
Has saved my neck before

I'll take a crack at fame
My own adventure story
Climb aboard a plane and aim for
Fortune and glory

I'm a one man show
Who's used to flying solo
Ask me "how?"
Well, I don't know
I'm makin' this up as I go

We've got our options weighed
And we're shooting for a win
We avoid the traps and snares
But still the roof caves in

So before the slamming door
Locks us both inside
Just put your trust in me
I'll get you home alive

It's up to me, I know
Or it's the end of the road
Ask me "how?"
Well, I don't know
I'm makin' this up as I go

How did I get here?
With my life in mortal danger
Why couldn't I be home
Not in the company of strangers

I wish I was back at school
Not traipsing through the jungle
Sipping on some tea
Instead of pilfering the Idol

In a world of endless night
Where so much is forbidden
I resolve to shine a light
To reveal what remains hidden

From the temple to the hall
From mosque to mausoleum
No matter what you say
It belongs in a museum

It's up to me, I know
Or it's the end of the road
From Calcutta to the Congo
From Katmandu to Cairo

It's up to me, I know
Or it's the end of the road
In the words
of Dr. Jones:
"I'm makin' this up as I go."
