Cincinnati Lyrics

A riverboat in Cincinnati

we were having fun, you smiled at me by the waters edge

before we went to bed

The city lights of the river

made me promise things, hope I can deliver in another

year

Was it me or the beer



I didn’t know what you do to me

but every once in a while

I guess it’s something that I can’t see

hiding in your smile

California and Mexico

I’ve been to Houston too

Never thought that I would ever fall in love with you



We took a walk on the levee

and we told ourselves we would get ready in a little

while

it was only a mile

To the church for the ceremony

I held the door for almost everybody and watched you

laugh

behind the camera’s glass



From Colorado I got a call

I guess it snowed again

I don’t know how those two survived at all

but I’m glad that they’re my friends

California and Mexico

I’ve been to Houston too

Never thought that I would ever fall in love with you



Eight hours home on the interstate

I’m not alone but you can hardly even stay awake

as my headlights shake

I watch you sleep, I watch the road ahead

I watch you dream

I wish that I could lay you down in bed

But we’re not home yet



I didn’t know what you do to me

but every once in a while

I guess it’s something that I can’t see

hiding in your smile

California and Mexico

I’ve been to Houston too

Never thought that I would ever fall in love with you
