One night in Iowa, you and I, in a borrowed car
Went driving in the summer, promises on every star
Out in the distance, I could hear some people laughing
I felt my heart beat back a weekend's worth of sadness
There was a farmhouse that had long since been deserted
We stopped and carved our hearts into the wooden surface
We thought just for an instant we could see the future
We thought for once we knew what really was important
Coming up close, everything sounds like
Welcome home, come home
And oh, by the way, don't you know that I could make
A dream that's barely half awake come true?
I wanted to say, but anything I could've said
It felt somehow, you already knew
We got back in the car and listened to a Dylan tape
We drove around the fields until it started getting late
And I went back to my hotel room on the highway
And you just got back in your car and drove away
Coming up close, everything sounds like
Welcome home, come home
And oh, by the way, don't you know that I could make
A dream that's barely half awake come true?
I wanted to say, but anything I could've said
I felt somehow, you already knew
Coming up close, everything sounds like
Welcome home, come home, come on home
Ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh, ooh
Do-oh, oh
