Kansas City
Kansas City I hold back my tears
I know that I should have been thrilled
I can't smile knowing all the while
Everything you did you did for you
Kansas City you ask me how I've been
I lie and then say that I've been fine
Words that trailed off as is far as we got
I know that I should have been thrilled
Kansas City I am not her son
I belong to my mother who's now gone
Always left to leave that's why he has returned
I know I should have been thrilled
Kansas City thanks for your concern
I will learn to get back on my own
Orphaned by my stake call him by his name
I know someday I will return
I know someday I will return
I know someday I will return
I know someday I will return
I know someday I will return
I know someday I will return
