Kansas City Lyrics - Okkervil River

The river is deep and the river is wide 

And the girl that I love is on the other side 

She wants to move to Kansas City 

Move to Kansas City 

Move, pretty baby, where the sky is so blue 

She's walking down Ellum, turning down Main 

Trying to find someone to sell her cocaine 

She wants to move to Kansas City 

Move to Kansas City 

Move, pretty baby, where the sky is so blue 

With a dayful of promises dead on her lips 

Mark 15: 34 tucked next to her hip 

She wants to move to Kansas City 

Move to Kansas City 

Move, pretty baby, where the sky is so blue

Well, I jumped in the water and started to drown 

I thought of her walking and turned back around 

I want to move to Kansas City 

Move to Kansas 

I want, pretty baby, where the sky is so blue 

With her pair of old wings that opened just once 

She can walk on two feet now, she can go where she wants 

She can even move to Kansas City 

Move to Kansas City 

Move, pretty baby, where the sky is so blue 

And I'll tell you one thing that you should never do 

Never let no woman tell you she loves you 

Sure she'll call you "baby", she'll look in your eye 

Then she'll get on that airplane and wave bye bye bye bye bye bye 

Bye bye baby, baby bye bye 

Bye Bye baby, so long next time 

So long next time

And if I could believe what I want to believe 

I'd hold you all close and take you with me 

All of you to Kansas City 

You to Kansas City 

And me, yeah, where the sky is so blue
