Kansas City

Oh, the river is deep and the river is wide
And the girl that I love's on the other side
She wants to move to Kansas City
Move to Kansas City
Move, pretty baby, where the sky is so blue

Now, she's walking down Ellum, turning down Main
Tryin' to find someone to sell her cocaine
She wants to move to Kansas City
Move to Kansas City
Move, pretty baby, where the sky is so blue

With a day full of promises dead on her lips
Mark 15:34 tucked next to her hip
She wants to move to Kansas City
Move to Kansas City
Move, pretty baby, where the sky is so blue

Well, I jumped in the water and started to drown
I thought of her walking and turned back around
I want to move to Kansas City
Move to Kansas
I wanna, pretty baby, where the sky is so blue

With her pair of old wings that opened just once
She can walk on two feet now, she can go where she wants
She can even move to Kansas City
Move to Kansas City
Move, pretty baby, where the sky is so blue

And I'll tell you one thing that you should never do
Never let no woman tell you she loves you
Sure she'll call you "baby", she'll look in your eye
Gonna get in the airplane and wave bye, bye, bye, bye, bye, bye
Bye, bye, baby, baby, bye bye
Bye, bye, baby, so long next time
So long next time! Oh, oh

And if I could believe what I want to believe
I'd hold you all close and take you with me
All of you to Kansas City
You to Kansas City
And me, yeah, where the sky is so blue
