Letter to Lainie Lyrics
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
