Think I’ll take a trip
And go downtown
Pickup truck
With the windows down
No sense in hanging around
If you like you can come along
We’ll be back before you know it
Rosie girl you can lead the way
Keep us moving to a brand new day
There may be some sharp turns definitely
We will never be far away
Out the door before the morning light
Wipe my eyes and shout out loud
I love the rain and I love my girl
We’ll  be back before you know it

Been singing your song
All day long
Been flying with my eyes closed
And landed right on time
Our world has changed in a whisper
But faded like a bad dream
Sing it soft
Sing it slow
Sing it mellow
And when the dust settles
After all of our struggles
I will forever have your song
Stuck in my head

Don’t want to be stuck here
In this consorted little circle
That everyone’s living in
Let us break away
Why should we stay
We’re all from different towns
We’re all from different places

This is my city
These are my streets
This is my home
In the summer heat
Walk with me across this long narrow bridge
Drop like a rock to the water below
There is a pattern you see
And it’s following me
So let’s keep moving
Hold on tight
I’m going to make it right
It’s a long way back to your world
Silky sky say good night

Sitting alone with the paper in my hand
Wipe my eyes
Clear my head
Sip of coffee
Something you said
I’m coming home on the 6:15
Your dangerouse they say
Sitting there dreaming
Lean into the wind
What a story those eyes do tell
Cradle me until tomorrow
The lights may seem brighter
On the other side of the city
1.8 Million people
And with us just two more
Such as it is
The night calls out
To all who wish to be found
We’ve gone so far
To be where we are
I can still see you there
Unimpressed and unaware
Metro commute 1954
Please Meet me in Motor City
Candle light cold winter night
We can pass the time away
There are days in this city
That lead to such lonely nights
Uptown in the City
It only hurts when I look back
Waiting for something that will never be
Never mind that dream

A quite hangs in the air
Like a soft mist envelope
Streams of light flow intermittently
Why do I return
What brings me back to this place
I long to be reacquainted
Solitude brings great solace
Greet me old friend
With your tranquil rows
Orderliness unparalleled
I am humbled by your symmetry
Calm uniformity dances in the morning light
Saying goodbye is always difficult
I will keep this brave face
May this world reward you with peace
I will return soon

The first time I saw her I loved her and I knew
Your a long way from home
And I hated the fact that you’re going back
So I wrote you a poem
I picked up my guitar and I played you my song
And somehow you came in my life
There’s a whole world of people
That try every day
To find that dear someone
To whom they can say
Please say you’ll stay and always be close
Don’t go away I love you Rose
I’ll be the best friend that you’ve ever had
Hold you so tight and make you hard glad
Make your heart glad
The years went by and you stayed by my side
Two girls came into our life
What joy they did bring like this song that I sing
So glad that you are my wife
