[Verse 1] He was just passing through on a westbound road Kansas wind was blowing hot and gold She was standing in a garden, bees around her wrists Sunlight in her hair like she was made of this He stopped the truck and forgot his name Nothing in this world would be the same [Chorus] Kansas girl with the gentle hands Snow White in the wheat and sand Horses come running when she calls Catches bees like they're friends of hers Sweetest voice he'd ever heard KANSAS GIRL, she changed it all [Verse 2] She grew up simple on her daddy's land Learned to love the dirt, learned to understand That every living thing deserves a tender word She'd sing to the pasture and the mockingbird He watched her walk barefoot through the morning dew And thought Lord, I will never look away from you [Chorus] Kansas girl with the gentle hands Snow White in the wheat and sand Horses come running when she calls Catches bees like they're friends of hers Sweetest voice he'd ever heard KANSAS GIRL, she changed it all [Bridge] (breath) Ruth... that was her name And the whole world shifted THE MOST BEAUTIFUL WOMAN He had ever seen [Verse 3] Now she's out in Perry County morning light Six kids at the table, everything's all right Horses in the pasture, dog curled at her feet She makes a hard life look so sweet [Chorus] Kansas girl with the gentle hands Snow White in the wheat and sand Horses come running when she calls Catches bees like they're friends of hers Sweetest voice he'd ever heard KANSAS GIRL, she changed it all [Outro] Kansas girl... (breath) She changed it all
