You said I love you babe but nothing has changed And maybe leaving is best You said I made up my mind and I mean it this time And now you’re heading west But around Lake Ontario I hope the stereo plays something that breaks your will and your heart gets weary when you make Lake Eire at Superior I hope she’s wearier still Remember the nights we held on tight And howled like coyotes at the moon And said we ain’t giving up, hell no matter what We ain’t giving in any time soon Oh around Lake Huron I hope the path you’re on will lead your heart to see so when you make Lake Michigan you will wish again to come on home and come back to me You were heaven sent I was hell bent They said we’d never last very long But we wanted to prove them wrong Darlin’ are you too far gone I’ve been spending my days just thinking of ways to get through nights like these I’ve been measuring time in bottles of wine And sad songs in minor keys But around Lake Ontario I hope the stereo plays something that breaks your will and your heart gets weary when you make Lake Eire at Superior I hope she’s wearier still and when you make Lake Huron I hope the path you’re on will lead your heart to see so when you make Lake Michigan you will wish again to come on home and come back to me
