Your Laker’s Back In Town Stan Rogers

I see it in your eyes
Searching through the harbour
And out across the bay
His ring is on your hand;
He called you up from Cleveland yesterday
Now who’s he left behind?
The weather’s fine, he’ll soon be coming ’round
I try to hold you closer
But your laker’s back in town

Every forty days
He leaves you lying sleeping
And clears for Thunder Bay
You call me on the job
And cry about how long he’ll be away
You need a country band
A cheap hotel and me to run around
But for now it’s over
Your laker’s back in town

A distant whistle moans across the bay
Pulls us apart
The singer says, “We’re gonna slow things down.”
Your cheating heart sounds like a clock run down
Your laker’s back in town
