Lyrics:

She sucks on the bottle
Holds it in her hand
And thinks its shaped like a woman
shes seventeen, not yet a woman
but the bear is cold and it tastes like freedom

And she likes it
It feels good
This is Independence, Indiana
and she likes that
It feels good
Life may never be as sweet again
as Independence, Indiana

If you ask her
She'll tell you high school sucks
People say shes just like her mother
She's got a boyfriend
and he's got a car
and they just cant keep their hands off each other

Chorus

And all her friends seem hell bent
On getting out of town
they say im moving up
and this place just drags me down
shes about had enough of waving brave goodbyes
gray hound bus, sying brace
nothing else makes such a desperate sense

She sucks on the bottle
holds it up to the light
and says beer is so under rated
and shes got a boyfriend
and hes got a car
and life just aint that complicated

Chorus
