Title: Kansas In My Mind Verse 1 She packed her bags and left me for Texas Said her music dreams would never wreck us Now she’s shining under Austin’s neon glow While I’m stuck up here where the cold winds blow Verse 2 All alone high up in the Colorado pines Busted broke, but my old cabin’s doing fine Every night I stare up at a sky so wide With a bottle of red wine by my side And whenever I’m blue… Chorus I go to Kansas in my mind Out where the wind blows and the wheat waves back Where the meadowlark sings her sweet, sweet song And sunflowers smile all day long That’s where I belong Yeah, that’s when I go to Kansas in my mind Verse 3 She said “Boy, come with me, I’ll sing you love songs every night Austin’s pretty this time of year, everything’s gonna be alright” She whispered soft against my ear “Guess I’m just a Texas kind of girl, my dear” Verse 4 She talked about the hill country, moonlight on the Rio Grande Making sweet love on those warm white sands Then she let a teardrop fall and said once more “Guess I’m just a Texas kind of girl” Verse 5 So I sit here on the front porch with my folks Mom still laughing at Dad’s same old jokes Old Shep’s lying faithful at their feet And I drift back to the only home that feels complete Verse 6 The little white church where we sang those hymns Playing ball with my best friend Jim That old schoolhouse with the slippery slide Linda’s kiss behind the barn one summer night The welcome sign on the edge of town Cruising the square, windows rolled down The college up high on the hill Where your eyes can see forever and winners never say never still Chorus (with tag) I go to Kansas in my mind Out where the wind blows and the wheat waves back Where the meadowlark sings her sweet, sweet song And sunflowers smile all day long That’s where I belong Lord, that’s when I go… Back to Kansas in my mind Chorus (repeat) I go to Kansas in my mind Out where the wind blows and the wheat waves back Where the meadowlark sings her sweet, sweet song And sunflowers smile all day long That’s where I belong Lord, that’s when I go… Back to Kansas in my mind
