Kansas City - Live From Northampton / 2006

Let's go

Well the river is deep
And the river is wide
And the girl that I love
She's on the other side

She says "I want to move to Kansas City
Move to Kansas City
Move, pretty baby, where the sky is so blue"

Well she's walking down Ellum
Turning down Main
Trying 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 dayful of promises
Dead on her lips
And with Psalm 88
All tucked next to her hip

She gonna to move to Kansas City
Move to Kansas City
Move, pretty baby, where the sky is so blue

Can you see me jump in the water
Now I've started to drown
And then I think of her walking
And I turned back around

I'm gonna to move to Kansas City
Move to Kansas
Oh-oh, pretty baby, where the sky is so blue and as you

She's got a pair of old wings
And they 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

But 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
She'll get on that airplane
She'll wave bye bye bye bye bye bye
Bye bye baby, baby bye bye
Bye Bye baby, say so long next time
Oh, so long goodbye, oh goodbye, oh goodbye, oh goodbye
Goodbye baby

Well if I could believe
What I want to believe
I'd hold you all close
And I'd take you with me

All of you to Kansas City
You to Kansas City
We, yeah, where the sky is so blue, come on

That's it
Thank you, we love you
Have a wonderful evening
