Kansas City
[Verse 1]
I've got my old man's Delta 88
The windows cracked
I'm on the Interstate
Just a hundred miles to go on half a tank of gasoline
Lucky charms and Tic Tacs
And Mom's amphetamines
[Chorus]
A hundred miles to go to Kansas City
February makes me kinda crazy
A hundred miles to go to Kansas City
Will you still be callin' me your baby?
[Verse 2]
I met a man in a diner outside of Hays
He said marriage brought him there
It was divorce that made him stay
I drove straight through to Junction City
I thought I'd call you in Topeka
But I didn't want the pity
[Chorus]
A hundred miles to go to Kansas City
Yeah, February makes me kinda crazy
Yeah, a hundred miles to go to Kansas City
Will you still be callin' me your baby?
[Bridge]
Feels like I been thrown into the slammer
With the back end of a hammer
Drawn over my strings
Oh, living became needing
My crying became bleeding
And now I am only dreaming
[Harmonica Solo]
[Chorus]
Oh, a hundred miles to go to Kansas City
February makes me kinda crazy
Oh, a hundred miles to go to Kansas City
Will you still be callin' me your baby?
Oh, will you still be callin' me?
I've got my old man's Delta 88
The windows cracked
I'm on the Interstate
Just a hundred miles to go on half a tank of gasoline
Lucky charms and Tic Tacs
And Mom's amphetamines
[Chorus]
A hundred miles to go to Kansas City
February makes me kinda crazy
A hundred miles to go to Kansas City
Will you still be callin' me your baby?
[Verse 2]
I met a man in a diner outside of Hays
He said marriage brought him there
It was divorce that made him stay
I drove straight through to Junction City
I thought I'd call you in Topeka
But I didn't want the pity
[Chorus]
A hundred miles to go to Kansas City
Yeah, February makes me kinda crazy
Yeah, a hundred miles to go to Kansas City
Will you still be callin' me your baby?
[Bridge]
Feels like I been thrown into the slammer
With the back end of a hammer
Drawn over my strings
Oh, living became needing
My crying became bleeding
And now I am only dreaming
[Harmonica Solo]
[Chorus]
Oh, a hundred miles to go to Kansas City
February makes me kinda crazy
Oh, a hundred miles to go to Kansas City
Will you still be callin' me your baby?
Oh, will you still be callin' me?
