lyrics

Woke up late this morning
Nothing new to see
A freeway back behind my house
Apartments next to me
Rush off to the factory
Put eight hours in
Drive home through the dirty snow
Tomorrow's the same again
Oh-woah-oh-oh, Oh-woah-oh-oh,
Oh-woah-oh-oh, Oh Superior
Oh-woah-oh-oh, Oh-woah-oh-oh,
Oh-woah-oh-oh, Oh Superior
I long to be with you

Listening to the radio
Watching the TV
Hearing all the things they say
Scares the devil out of me
"Nowhere is it different"
That's what some people say
"There's too much of a good thing here
To throw it all away"
(refrain)

Last night about midnight
I looked out at the stars
They were shining down upon the lake
Despite the passing cars
And I looked out at the buildings
But they did not seem the same
All I saw were rocks and trees and waves
The city so far away

Oh-woah-oh-oh, Oh-woah-oh-oh,
Oh-woah-oh-oh, Oh Superior
Oh-woah-oh-oh, Oh-woah-oh-oh,
Oh-woah-oh-oh, Oh Superior
I'm coming home to you
(repeat refrain)
