The Western Shore

I'm headed out west again
From our side of Lake Michigan to the western shore
To meet your folks for the first time
Oh I hope they like me
'Cause my plans aren't short

I'd like to look back on these days
And to refer to you I'll say
That's my wife who was my girlfriend at the time

I know
We have our hearts set on tomorrows
I know
That you'll be here for me
And I know
There's plenty of fish in Chicago
And you're the one for me

So when we get back home again
To our side of Lake Michigan
I'll be at your door
And when your kiss says that I can't leave
Oh I know you like me
And your plans aren't short

And when we look back on these days
To refer to you I'll say
That's my wife who was my girlfriend at the time
That's my wife who was my girlfriend at the time
