Wichita Way

I'm going down Wichita way
I'll be there tomorrow, maybe today
I know I never should have gone away
And that's about all I'm gonna say

I spent a little time in New Mexico
Up in the mountains where the cold winds blow
I don't mind the cold but I don't like the snow
I'd have left sooner if I'd known where to go

Out on the road is a lonely place
Sometimes in the mirror I see your face
The highway's humming a sweet lullaby
I turn on the radio, turn it up high
I roll down the windows and take a deep breath
What I wouldn't give for a couple hours rest
The land here's flat and the sky's gone grey
That's about all I'm gonna say
That's about all I'm gonna say

It's hard to believe that a year's gone by
It's hard to remember why I said goodbye
I found some old wings and I thought I could fly
I'd tell you I'm sorry but I'm not going to lie

When I get to town I might give you a call
Just to see if you want to see me at all
Those wings fell apart I took a terrible fall
But I'm not gonna beg and I'm not gonna crawl

I'll keep on driving if it takes all night
Out on the horizon I see something bright
It must be the glow of the Wichita lights
Out here in the dark it's a beautiful sight
Here in the dark it's a beautiful sight

'Cause out on the road is a lonely place
Sometimes in the mirror I see your face
The highway's humming a sweet lullaby
I turn on the radio, turn it up high
I roll down the windows and take a deep breath
What I wouldn't give for a couple hours rest
The land here's flat and the sky's gone grey
That's about all I'm gonna say
That's about all I'm gonna say
