Cowboy In The Distance Lyrics - Singles - John Stewart

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
