Playland - Great Lake State of Mind

Phone call caught took me by surprise
Gee its been a long long time
since those humid indiana nights
when we went swimming in the lake

now chicago seems so far away
and i'm not talkin bout the miles
and there aint much i wouldnt give today
just to see one of your smiles

but here i sit alone in new york
sippin old milwaukee beer
and i got all night to remember you
i'm in a great lake state of mind

letterman is on the late late show
makin jokes and crackin' smiles
and i was hopin as the credits roll
he'd come out and tell one more

but here i sit alone in new york
sippin old milwaukee beer
and i got all night to remember you
i'm in a great lake state of mind

thousand miles or more
from here to your front door
i could be there tomorrow if i left today
i just pack up my guitar
you know its really not that far
when you called you said 'I have a place to stay'

but here sit alone in new york
sippin old milwaukee beer
and i've got all night to remember you
i'm in a great lake state of mind
