Lyrics
Midwest standard miss you time
Telephone wires on fire from here back to L.A.
There's a girl in this bar she don'tlook like you
She don't act like you she don't talk like you
She reminds me of you
But so do the trees and the wind off the cold blue lakes
And there's nothing I can do about this
Long distance lonely for you
Damn this snow I love it so
Reminds me of the dress you wear, you know the one
Winds up on the bedroom floor when you put it on.
But the river's froze my heart is froze
A lone wolf cries on the icy plains of the Iron Range
Summer'slong gone hell it don't look like it's coming back
Chorus
All the tears you cry. A soft rain falls beside me
On the empty seat of hte passenger side
This blacktop burns my heels as each passing mile reveals
Another part of me that got left behind. And it's a long long ride just to get back home
Now I wish my heart was a railroad line
Running from south St Paul all the way down to Mexico
I'd meet you at the border this train would never jump the tracks
Chorus
