High in the cascade mountains On a green rainy windy ridge Waiting uptight at the toll gate Crossing the Golden Gate Bridge In the glittering Hollywood midnight Full of nowhere millionaires What would I have done without my lady there?
Cold shifty eyes and french fries Stuck in a tourist trap Waiting alone at the gas pump In a town that ain't on the map In the space race faces of Houston Which looked out of work and scared What would I have done without my lady there?
We stood at the window overlooking the City of nightmares and cried And wondered how anyone desperate for money Could live such a life The on-ramps and off-ramps and staggering Street tramps and legions of the damned Crying sister and brother, hang onto each other The computers are jammed
Business in New York City High in a cold hotel Wondering if there's a heaven We've already been sent to Hell It might be alright to live there But visiting is just nowhere What would I have done without my lady there?
