Your Lakers Back In Town

C                Dm
I see it in your eyes
                      G
Searching through the harbour
         C              F C
And out across the bay
                    Dm
His ring is on your hand;
                      G               C    F C
He called you up from Cleveland yesterday
             F
Now who’s he left behind?
    G                     Am              Dm
The weather’s fine, he’ll soon be coming ’round
                  G
I try to hold you closer
                         C     F C
But your laker’s back in town

C           Dm
Every forty days
                    G
He leaves you lying sleeping
               C            F C
And clears for Thunder Bay
                   Dm
You call me on the job
                  G              C    F C
And cry about how long he’ll be away
           F
You need a country band
  G               Am         Dm
A cheap hotel and me to run around
                 G
But for now it’s over
                     C     F C
Your laker’s back in town

G
A distant whistle moans across the bay
      C
Pulls us apart
G
The singer says, “We’re gonna slow things down.”
     Am                    Dm               G
Your cheating heart sounds like a clock run down
                     C     F C
Your laker’s back in town
G
He comes in looking like he owns the place
       C
And he knows you’re here
G
The singer hollers, “It’s the final round.”
    Am               Dm                G
The final beer feels like a rock going down
                     C     F C
Your laker’s back in town

C                 Dm
The band has gone away
                         G
They’re clearing off the tables
           C           F C
And giving me the eye
                     Dm
You took him out the door
                     G               C    F C
And never thought to turn to say goodbye
            F
And I’m the crying fool
  G                  Am                Dm
I know that you will call and I’ll be ’round
                   G
To try to hold you closer
                          C     F C
‘Til your laker’s back in town
                    G
And try to hold you closer
                          C     F C
‘Til your laker’s back in town
