Girls Back Home

I met a boy on the streets of Illinois
He had a girl on the other side of town
I melted to the floor
But I loved him all the more
For saying no

I had a dream we were standing in a stream
Of people in the middle of the city streets
When we kissed there was applause
And the people danced because
That's what honest love can do

Seek and you will find
But know that it might not
Be what you're looking for

I made me my bed and slept in it
I did what I thought would be right
And so did you it breaks my heart
You are the sweetest one by far

Seek and you will find
But know that it might not
Be what you're looking for

So here's to the girls back home
And may your men be strong
As the ones I've come across
