آهنگ: John Stewart. Cowboy In The Distance.

She's running through the cornfields of New York City
And I'm driving by the cornfields of Illinois
And I wonder how the dream feels in New York City
Same as the dream that I had in Illinois

She's skating down the back roads of Joplin Missouri
Skating down the avenues of New York City too
And I wonder how the wheels sound in Joplin Missouri
Same as the sweet singing wheels in New York do

And she shines like a diamond
To this runner in the night
I'm a cowboy in the distance
Waiting for the light

There's a girl who's in love in Joplin Missouri
There's a girl who's in love in New York just the same
In love with the boys out chasing his dreams
In love with a boy and she never knows his name

There's a telephone that's ringing in Joplin Missouri
There's a telephone that's ringing in New York plain as day
Waiting for a call in Joplin in Manhattan, yeah
Waiting for a call from the boy who ran away

And she shines like a diamond
To this runner in the night
And I'm a cowboy in the distance
He's waiting for the light

She's running through the cornfields of New York City
And I'm driving by the cornfields of Missouri it seems
I wonder if she knows there's a cowboy in the distance
And I wonder if she knows that she's in the cowboy's dreams

And she shines like a diamond
To this runner in the night
I'm a cowboy in the distance
Waiting for the light

And she shines like a diamond
To this runner in the night
I'm a cowboy in the distance
She's waiting for the light

Just waiting for the light
Just waiting for the light
Just waiting for the light
