I've got you, and you've got me I'm going back to the lake This time of year it's frozen through Ain't nothing gonna break I'll take you there and show you where I used to spend my time Before working, before leaving, before wine I love Minnesota, Michigan, Colorado too Atlanta and Montana Nebraska in the moon And you Life is easy come, and it's easy go, too Hours were the birds, and I guess they flew I just can't get a grip on this place, Billy Lou Well zoom zoom zoom Here we go, Annie No more planning Isn't this dandy I've got you, and you've got me
