Midwestern Boy

Come to me, midwestern boy Summer skin, warm as the corn One slow dance on a moonlight beach Dressed in just what you were born in Tall and lanky by the lake Smilin' sideways, a freckled face Wait for me, midwestern boy And I will meet you in that place Play those songs that tell a story Great beginnings and the end of childhood What a time to come of age Free love and the war a-raging I don't know the plans you made Gone to college or to dodge the draft I just needed someone to run to Until I finally turned eighteen [Do you remember when ... ] Perhaps the east coast or the west Just anywhere that's not so in between I'll see you, midwestern boy There's still time to have a dream Fireflies light up the dark Skin so brown and hearts so open Now close your eyes, midwestern boy And I will be with you tonight
