Letter To Lainie Songtext
von River City Extension

Lainie′s just as lonely as I am
She sits on the west coast,
flipping through maps of Arizona
She says she's lookin′ to leave, man
Well that sounds like a good plan,
if she could ever make it to Sedona

Finally I'm starting to see
what everyone's been tryin′ to tell me

Maybe I′m just luckier than I should be
for a young guy
Who's still somewhat afraid of getting older
Hoping for your word in the late night
A lover who just might,
keep me from feeling any colder

Finally I′m starting to see
what everyone's been trying to tell me


A letter, says I′m leaving
I got a postcard from the road and it's missing my feet
I′m trying, to believe in,
anything that's gonna bring you home

Baby, you can't blame me for looking
A second passion in cooking
Well I′ve been more sincere but who gives a damn
I hope you know that I′m trying
And for the days I've been crying
You′ve been making it up even better than
I thought you would and I'm growing that′s good
And it's not where I should be
but don′t hold it against me

A letter, says I'm leaving
I got a postcard from the road and it's missing my feet
I′m trying, to believe in,
anything that′s gonna bring you home to me
A letter, says dear Lainie, I'm sorry for the delay
I′ve been stuck in the snow
Be better, my dear lady, cause come the first sign of
spring I'll be coming home
