lyrics

If I make it passed Kansas City it might as well be Spain
If I come back at all I’m coming to collect my things

They say the south ain’t worth a damn unless you are republican
That, I’m just not ready to believe
I’m sorry but I have to disagree

If I make it passed Kansas City I gotta bring the dogs
I will get a itching if I stay somewhere too long

To them it makes no difference cos’ together we are home
Watching from a distance, from the outside looking on

Everything seems better when you wake up with a song
I’m sorry that I have to disappear
I told myself that this would be the year

I’m riding out the rains
I’m taking on the tides
I’m making my escape
Through the Kansas City Lights

If I make it passed Kansas City I’m stopping off in Saint
With Brother D. in Cincinnati, I got a place to stay

He’s got off the weekends cos’ he’s working for the state university
I’ll take off a couple dates, but if I get a gig maybe he’ll join me on the stage

I’m sorry that I have to disappear
I told myself that this would be the year

I’m riding out the reigns
I’m taking on the tides
I’m making my escape
Through the Kansas City Lights

If I make it passed Kansas City it might as well be Spain
If I come back at all I’m coming to collect my things
