Wish We Were Back in Missouri
Wish we were back in Missouri
Don't the steamships sail real slow
Ain't you tired of them Broadway shows
This Paris dress don't look its best
Worn on the woman of a man
Who gets his money dealing death
I wish we were back in Missouri
Where the cottonwoods bend in the breeze
I wish we were back in Missouri
Hear the nightbirds singing in the trees
I wish we were back in Missouri
Ploughing land and praying for rain
Oh Jesse, take me home - let's start all over again
What made you shoot Cashier Sheets
And that banking man in the Russelville streets
Don't you ever fear those widows' tears
How the blood runs cold in your veins
In the past few years
I wish we were back in Missouri
Simple people in a simple land
I wish we were back in Missouri
Remember those childhood plans
I wish we were back in Missouri
Where we know just who are our friends
Oh Jesse, take me home - let's start all over again
Don't the steamships sail real slow
Ain't you tired of them Broadway shows
This Paris dress don't look its best
Worn on the woman of a man
Who gets his money dealing death
I wish we were back in Missouri
Where the cottonwoods bend in the breeze
I wish we were back in Missouri
Hear the nightbirds singing in the trees
I wish we were back in Missouri
Ploughing land and praying for rain
Oh Jesse, take me home - let's start all over again
What made you shoot Cashier Sheets
And that banking man in the Russelville streets
Don't you ever fear those widows' tears
How the blood runs cold in your veins
In the past few years
I wish we were back in Missouri
Simple people in a simple land
I wish we were back in Missouri
Remember those childhood plans
I wish we were back in Missouri
Where we know just who are our friends
Oh Jesse, take me home - let's start all over again
