Kokomo lyrics
by John Prine
[Intro]
Mmm
[Verse 1]
In a small fishing village Northeast of Guam
Sits a fine young chap holding hands with his mom
As the fish swim by, so does Joe
For his body was in Guam, but his mind was in Kokomo
[Verse 2]
I am long to be inside my home
Where the rafters are thick with mens cologne
If I were a tree, I know where I would grow
But my body is in Guam, my mind is in Kokomo
[Chorus]
Kokomo, Indiana
Kokomo, Indiana
[Verse 3]
It's a large swimming pool that will light up at night
With cigarette girls, and a groom dressed in white
As the organ plays a song, the crowd doesn't know
For their bodies are in Guam, but their minds are in Kokomo
[Chorus]
Kokomo, Indiana
Kokomo, Indiana
