I'm not first in my class
I always sat there near the back
So when my name got called for capitals
I had a fourth grade heart attack
I can't say I'm into caucusing
Or farming corn or feeder teams
So what on earth is there to bring
A kid to care what's there
Someone share
Apart from the fair
Why would anybody want to plant their future there
Now I've traveled coast to coast
And all the cards they've hid are showing
The prettiest girls in the world live in Des Moines
I drove through it to college
Didn't stop for lack of knowledge
That something rare was hiding there
And I might never have found it
Til I met her at party
And I knew right from the start she
Had a strangle on my heart
And so I asked when you're done toying
Where are you going
She said Des Moines
And come graduation time, if you're my man, you'd better join
Cause I've been gone too long
And they've been counting down the mornings
Til the prettiest girl in the world lives in Des Moines
Lives in Des Moines
Not first in my class
You know I never thought I'd catch her
But now my last name comes after hers
And I see her pretty eyes
In our grinning little toddler
Spilling sippy cups of water
Laughing as she tears apart the
Plans that I had for my life
Now they say my world is shrinking
But at home it just keeps growing
The prettiest girls in the world live in Des Moines
Now I've got to get back to there
Cause every day is happy where
The prettiest girls in the world live in Des Moines
Live in Des Moines
