  • It was on an indiana farm in the middle of the country
  • D g f#m c#m esus4
  • Growin in the fields of grain, jim dean of indiana
  • His mother died when he was a boy, his father was a stranger
  • Marcus winslow took him in, nobody seemed to want him
  • The hired man sang like a storm(? ), sometimes hed beat him
  • cause he would never do the chores, he was lost in dreaming
  • He never seemed to find a play with the flatlands and the farmers
  • So he had to leave one day, he said to be an actor
  • Once hed come back to the farm with starlets from the stages
  • They locked themselves inside his room, the people turned their faces
  • A neighbor ran from the movie house, chickens they were scattered
  • He swore he saw upon the screen, jim dean of indiana
  • He played a boy without a home, torn with no tomorrow
  • Reaching out to touch someone, a stranger in the shadow
  • The winslows left for the movie town, they drove across the country
  • They hoped that he would stay around and they hoped he would be friendly
  • He talked to them for half an hour but he was busy racing
  • He left for the grapevine road[1], they left for indiana
  • Then marcus heard on the radio that a movie star was dying
  • He turned the tuner way down low, so ortense could go on sleeping
  • It was not until they reached the farm where the hired man was waiting
  • The wind rushed silent through the grain, it was just as they had told him
  • They buried him just down the road, a mile from the farm house
  • That is where I placed a flower for jim dean of indiana.
