Written by Victor Anthony, Commercialfree Music (SESAC)

lyrics

I live in Broken Bow
And there’s nothing much to do
It’s a hundred miles to nowhere
On a wasted afternoon
And if you’re lookin’ for adventure
You’ve got one tough row to hoe
Twenty-one and stuck in Broken Bow

Nebraska’s got no ocean
And there ain’t no fun in sight
Sadie Weibel’s moved away
And there goes Friday night
Nine ball at the pool hall
Crank up the radio
Twenty-one and stuck in Broken Bow

A six of Bud, a hand-me-down truck
And a rocket in my jeans
My uncle went to Mardi Gras
And got lucky in New Orleans
Ah…but half an hour’s cruise
I’ve seen everyone I know
Twenty-one and stuck in Broken Bow

There’s an airport at Grand Island
But I’ve never been up high
Guess I’ll wear these dusty boots
Until the day I die
And there’s a pissant hill at the edge of town
Where we plant ‘em when they go
They’re gonna lay me down in Broken Bow
Twenty-one and stuck in Broken Bow
