[Verse 1]
Is it a sin to live without, to look within?
I didn't know which way to turn
She had to go and so I've learned
And now forever and a day
I will wait in that Show-Me State

[Chorus]
Yes, Virginia, there's a world to see
But without you, where can it be?
I'm going to Kansas City, but that's just me
On a Greyhound bus from Tennessee
No need to worry, I ain't in no hurry
Missouri loves company

[Verse 2]
Down this country lane, I leave behind a little pain
And as I cross the county line and every state in my mind
I've got nothing to lose
Like St. Louis, I've got the blues

[Chorus]
Yes, Virginia, there's a world to see
But without you, where can it be?
I'm going to Kansas City, but that's just me
On a Greyhound bus from Tennessee
No need to worry, I ain't in no hurry
Missouri loves company
[Bridge]
Minneapolis through St. Paul
The pain's the same and that ain't all
I'm heading north where my lover calls
I'm not going down like Niagara Falls

[Verse]
I've got to do what's best for me
That's finding you
I'll travel on near or far
Until I find the place you are

[Chorus]
Yes, Virginia, there's a world to see
But without you where can it be?
I'm going to Kansas City, but that's just me
All the way from Graceland, Tennessee
There's no need to worry, I ain't in no hurry
Missouri loves company
