Meet me in Chicago Down by the water line Step across the gold coast To my heart and to your wine Maybe Cincinnati With a trip in the morning light Step across the branches I will follow you over the Rhine And it takes one to know one That's what they always say I've waited for the dawn And I've waited for the day Oh, I'm coming low And I'm willing to pray Stepping through the haze One more day on a wide open road On and on and the lights come and go And everything I might not even know What is the distance On through the resistance singing Oh Meet me in Portland Roast here in the summer light See you in the evergreens I will catch you down on the Northeast side And maybe San Diego Moonlight at the lowest tide See you in the shoreline breaker Stepping over my maker's line And it takes one to know one That's what they always say I've waited for the dawn And I've waited for the day Oh, I'm coming low And I'm willing to pray Stepping through the haze One more day on a wide open road On and on and the lights come and go And everything I might not even know What is the distance On through the resistance singing You met me on the backstreets Right there at the end of the line Where a spark turns into fire And a tear falls into life And it takes one to know one That's what they always say I've waited for the dawn And I've waited for the day Oh, I'm coming low And I'm willing to pray Stepping through the haze One more day on a wide open road On and on and the lights come and go And everything I might not even know What is the distance On through the resistance On a wide open road On and on and the lights come and go And everything I might not even know What is the distance On through the resistance singing Oh Meet me in Chicago Down by the water line You stepped across the gold coast Stepped into this heart of mine
