The Boy from Cedar Falls Video (MV)

Wish I could stay home for the summer
Wish I could see him more than once or twice a year
We'd start a band, he'd be my drummer
Engineer, eyes blue and sincere

Wish he lived close to where I'm living
Wish I could see him more than one week at a time
I'm tired of waiting till Thanksgiving
Wish just once we'd be Valentines

Three thousand miles away
We'll meet again someday
If I lived close, he'd be my all
The boy from Cedar Falls

I love our shared Midwestern values
And how he treats his father, sister, and his mom
The way he listens when he talks to you
Goes to church, Lord! he's so handsome

Three thousand miles away
We'll meet again someday
If I lived close, he'd be my all
The boy from Cedar Falls

I said, "I tried to write about you the first time that we kissed
But it was hard to write about a thing that I know can't exist
It all adds up to nothing, a love fate won't allow"
He said, "It wasn't nothing then, and it isn't nothing now"
It wasn't nothing then, and it isn't nothing now

One thing I know I will remember
Making dovetail joints while rain poured down upon my barn
If we're still single come December
We'll compensate for the time that's gone

Three thousand miles away
We'll meet again someday
If I lived close, he'd be my all
The boy from Cedar Falls

Wish I could stay home for the summer
