The Western Shore

I'm headed out west again
 from our side of Lake Michigan to the western shore
 to meet your folks for the first time
 oh I hope they like me
 cause my plans aren't short
 I'd like to look back on these days
 and to refer to you I'll say
 that's my wife who was my girlfriend at the time
 I know
 we have our hearts set on tomorrows
 I know
 that you'll be here for me
 and I know
 there's plenty of fish in chicago
 and you're the one for me
 so when we get back home again
 to our side of lake michigan
 I'll be at your door
 and when your kiss says that I can't leave
 oh i know you like me
 and your plans aren't short
 and when we look back on these days
 to refer to you I'll say
 that's my wife who was my girlfriend at the time
 that's my wife who was my girlfriend at the time
