The windmills and the water tanks all stand on solid ground   The country mailman mutters as he motors into town   The sunlight came, the sunlight went, the stars came out to see   The way I laughed at the way I cried at the way you treated me      The ocean babe is watered down but these plains are high and dry   And though you've seen your share of dreams, you've never seen me cry      The windshield and the radio play sadly through the night   A crazy blazin' fallin' star just passed me on the right   Tail lights down the highway fade low and out of sight   That farmer's dog can only bark but this cold north wind can bite      The ocean babe is watered down but these plains are high and dry   And though you've seen your share of dreams, you've never seen me cry      The windbreaks and the watersheds are growin' old this year   The moon breaks in a brand new song as I break in a tear   I've heard that all good things must end, they say what's done is done   And I guess I should be flyin' cause it's killin' me to run      The ocean babe is watered down but these plains are high and dry   And though you've seen your share of dreams, you've never seen me cry
