| She’s running through the cornfields of New York City
|
| And I’m driving by the cornfields of Illinois
|
| And I wonder how the dream feels in New York City
|
| Same as the dream that I had in Illinois
|
| She’s skating down the back roads of Joplin Missouri
|
| Skating down the avenues of New York City too
|
| And I wonder how the wheels sound in Joplin Missouri
|
| Same as the sweet singing wheels in New York do
|
| And she shines like a diamond
|
| To this runner in the night
|
| I’m a cowboy in the distance
|
| Waiting for the light
|
| There’s a girl who’s in love in Joplin Missouri
|
| There’s a girl who’s in love in New York just the same
|
| In love with the boys out chasing his dreams
|
| In love with a boy and she never knows his name
|
| There’s a telephone that’s ringing in Joplin Missouri
|
| There’s a telephone that’s ringing in New York plain as day
|
| Waiting for a call in Joplin in Manhattan, yeah
|
| Waiting for a call from the boy who ran away
|
| And she shines like a diamond
|
| To this runner in the night
|
| And I’m a cowboy in the distance
|
| He’s waiting for the light
|
| She’s running through the cornfields of New York City
|
| And I’m driving by the cornfields of Missouri it seems
|
| I wonder if she knows there’s a cowboy in the distance
|
| And I wonder if she knows that she’s in the cowboy’s dreams
|
| And she shines like a diamond
|
| To this runner in the night
|
| I’m a cowboy in the distance
|
| Waiting for the light
|
| And she shines like a diamond
|
| To this runner in the night
|
| I’m a cowboy in the distance
|
| She’s waiting for the light
|
| Just waiting for the light
|
| Just waiting for the light
|
| Just waiting for the light |
