Corn fields in the summertime
Maybe knee high in July
Shooting birds in the backyard
Never stopped to wonder why
A kiss was just a kiss
Cause love it didn't go that deep
And it's hard to know what to throw away
And it's hard to know what to keep
Oooh oooh Kansas city girl
I wish I were coming home
Cause I want to feel something I know
Instead of just
Instead of just
Feeling alone
Couple dogs couple women
Couple friends lost on the dice
My wildest imagination
Couldn't have dreamed of this life
I'm haunted by the feeling
That things are out of hand
And what the child in me don't want to see
The man in me needs to understand
Oooh oooh Kansas city girl
I wish I were coming home
Cause I want to feel something I know
Instead of just
Instead of just
Feeling alone
Ten thousand miles
Between me and yesterday
And now I'm looking back
When I used to look away
Pretty girl in the marketplace
But I don't speak her tongue
I got ten dollars and a souvenir
Can you make me feel young?
Oooh oooh Kansas city girl
I wish I were coming home
Cause I want to feel something I know
Instead of just
Instead of just
Feeling alone
