Meanwhile Back In Cleveland Lyrics - Bill Anderson

High a top a mountain lookin' down to Panga Canyon 

I came to see the blue pacific in the night 

The stars are like a miollion dancin' diamods on the water 

And my lover's arms're wrapped around me tight 

And almost empty bottle of rose sits on the table 

Like the echo of a sweet and gentle song 

I never stop and wonder why I came to California 

But I often wonder why I took so long 

Meanwhile back in Cleveland her alarm clock's loudly ringin' 

And she's crawlin' out to face another day 

A sleepy little boychild is tuggin' her pyjamas sayin' mama why did daddy go away 

But it's Saturday and it's bowlin' den and then the beauty parlor 

And the wishy-washy laundry and then home 

And California's just a piece of fiction on her roadmap 

And surely not the place her man has gone meanwhile back in Cleveland life goes on 

The waves at Malibou today were perfect for the surfin' 

And I hope I didn't soak up too much sun 

We started once to take a boat to Catalina Island 

But lyin' on the beach was too much fun 

There's gonna be the screaming Sunday night at Universal 

And a party up at Roger's place till dawn 

I never stop and wonder why I came to California 

But I often woder why I took so long 

Meanwhile back in Cleveland the rain is slowly fallin' 

And it's gonna be another lonely night 

Someone said she's workin' in a cafe waitin' tables 

And I'm sorry and I hope that she's alright 

But the endless maze of PTA's and queus and station wagons 

And cuttin' grass and highly mortgaged homes 

Drove me from the lovin' arms I otherwise would die for 

And make me seek a purpose of my own meanwhile back in Cleveland life goes on
