Meanwhile Back In Cleveland Lyrics

(Bill Anderson)

High a top a mountain lookin' down to Panga Canyon
I came to see the blue pacific in the night
The stars are like a miollion dancin' diamods on the water
And my lover's arms're wrapped around me tight.

And almost empty bottle of rose sits on the table
Like the echo of a sweet and gentle song
I never stop and wonder why I came to California
But I often wonder why I took so long.

Meanwhile back in Cleveland
Her alarm clock's loudly ringin'
And she's crawlin' out to face another day
A sleepy little boychild is tuggin' her pyjamas
Sayin', ''Mama, why did daddy go away?''
But it's Saturday and it's bowlin' den
And then the beauty parlor.

And the wishy-washy laundry and then home
And California's just a piece of fiction on her roadmap
And surely not the place her man has gone
Meanwhile back in Cleveland life goes on.Bill Anderson - Meanwhile Back In Cleveland - http://motolyrics.com/bill-anderson/meanwhile-back-in-cleveland-lyrics.html

The waves at Malibou today were perfect for the surfin'
And I hope I didn't soak up too much sun
We started once to take a boat to Catalina Island
But lyin' on the beach was too much fun.

There's gonna be the screaming Sunday night at Universal
And a party up at Roger's place till dawn
I never stop and wonder why I came to California
But I often woder why I took so long.

Meanwhile back in Cleveland the rain is slowly fallin'
And it's gonna be another lonely night
Someone said she's workin' in a cafe waitin' tables
And I'm sorry and I hope that she's alright.

But the endless maze of PTA's
And queus and station wagons
And cuttin' grass and highly mortgaged homes.

Drove me from the lovin' arms
I otherwise would die for
And make me seek a purpose of my own
Meanwhile back in Cleveland life goes on.
