I think I'd like to go
Back home
And take it easy
There's a woman that
I'd like to get to know
Living there

Everybody seems to wonder
What it's like down here
I gotta get away
From this day-to-day
Running around,
Everybody knows
This is nowhere.

Everybody, everybody knows
Everybody knows.

Every time I think about
Back home
It's cool and breezy
I wish that I could be there
Right now
Just passing time.

Everybody seems to wonder
What it's like down here
I gotta get away
From this day-to-day
Running around,
Everybody knows
This is nowhere.

Everybody, everybody knows
Everybody knows.

I waited for you, Winterlong
You seem to be where I belong.
It's all illusion anyway.

If things should ever turn out wrong
And all the love we have is gone,
It won't be easy on that day.

Waiting to follow
Through the dreamlight of your way
Is not so easy for me now.

Half the time has passed away
Things we thought of yesterday
Come back now, come back now.

Waiting to follow
Through the dreamlight of your way
Is not so easy for me now.

Half the time has passed away
Things we thought of yesterday
Come back now, come back now.

I waited for you Winterlong
You seem to be where I belong.

Be on my side,
I'll be on your side,
Baby
There is no reason
For you to hide
It's so hard for me
Staying here all alone
When you could be
Taking me for a ride.

Yeah, she could drag me
Over the rainbow,
Send me away
Down by the river
I shot my baby
Down by the river,
Dead, oh, shot her dead.

You take my hand,
I'll take your hand
Together we may get away
This much madness
Is too much sorrow
It's impossible
To make it today.

Yeah, she could drag me
Over the rainbow,
Send me away
Down by the river
I shot my baby
Down by the river,
Dead, oh, shot her dead.

Be on my side,
I'll be on your side,
Baby
There is no reason
For you to hide
It's so hard for me
Staying here all alone
When you could be
Taking me for a ride.

Yeah, she could drag me
Over the rainbow,
Send me away
Down by the river
I shot my baby
Down by the river,
Dead, oh, shot her dead.

I've been walking all night long
My footsteps made me crazy
Baby, you've been gone so long
I'm wonderin' if you'll come home
I'm hopin' that you'll be my baby
I'm wonderin' if I'll be alone
Knowin' that I need you to save me.

I've been talking all day long
To keep my heart from sadness
Baby, you've been gone so long
I'm wonderin' if you'll come home
I'm hopin' that you'll be my baby
I'm wonderin' if I'll be alone
Knowin' that I need you to save me.

I'm wonderin', I'm wonderin',
I'm wonderin', I'm wonderin',
I'm wonderin', I'm wonderin',
I'm wonderin', I'm wonderin'.

Well, I'm knowin'
That I need you to save me
Knowin' that I need you to save me.
Knowin' that I need you to save me.
Knowin' that I need you to save me.
I'm wonderin', I'm wonderin'.

Come on, baby, let's go downtown,
Let's go, let's go,
Let's go downtown.
Come on, baby, let's go downtown,
Let's go, let's go,
Let's go downtown.

Walk on, talk on,
Baby tell no lies.
Don't you be caught
With a tear in your eye.

Sure enough,
They'll be sellin' stuff
When the moon begins to rise.
Pretty bad when
You're dealin' with the man,
And the light shines in your eyes.

Come on, baby, let's go downtown,
Let's go, let's go,
Let's go downtown.
Come on, baby, let's go downtown,
Let's go, let's go,
Let's go downtown.

Snake eyes, French fries
And I got lots of gas.
Full moon and a jumpin' tune,
Now you don't have to ask.

Sure enough,
They'll be sellin' stuff
When the moon begins to rise.
Pretty bad when
You're dealin' with the man,
And the light shines in your eyes.

Come on, baby, let's go downtown,
Let's go, let's go,
Let's go downtown.
Come on, baby, let's go downtown,
Let's go, let's go,
Let's go downtown.

Walk on, talk on,
Baby tell no lies.
Don't you be caught
With a tear in your eye.

Sure enough,
They'll be sellin' stuff
When the moon begins to rise.
Pretty bad when
You're dealin' with the man,
And the light shines in your eyes.

Pretty bad when
You're dealin' with the man,
And the light shines in your eyes.

Hello cowgirl in the sand
Is this place
At your command
Can I stay here
For a while
Can I see your
Sweet sweet smile
Old enough now
To change your name
When so many love you
Is it the same?
It's the woman in you
That makes you want
To play this game.

Hello ruby in the dust
Has your band
Begun to rust
After all
The sin we've had
I was hopin' that
We'd turn back
Old enough now
To change your name
When so many love you
Is it the same
It's the woman in you
That makes you want
To play this game.

Hello woman of my dreams
This is not
The way it seems
Purple words
On a grey background
To be a woman
And to be turned down
Old enough now
To change your name
When so many love you
Is it the same
It's the woman in you
That makes you want
To play this game.
