Collect From Wichita Lyrics - Ronna Reeves

It's rainin' cats and dogs 

At a diner outside Wichita 

Out of money, our of breath 

Somewhere in the great Midwest 

It ain't like you'll walk through that door 

A thousand miles from Baltimore 

But if you did you'd understand 

I'm drowning in this promise land 

This time I've spent, I've just been driftin' 

And I ain't got nothin' left 

Yeah, I've been bent and twisted 

Into this state of helplessness 

My back is up against the wall 

Hopin' that you'll take my call 

Collect from Wichita 

Left Austin road in a cloud of dust 

Screaming blind and furious 

Splinters in my hands and feet 

From pieces of our broken dreams 

This time I've spent I've just been driftin' 

And I ain't got nothin' left 

Yeah, I've been bent and twisted 

Into this state of helplessness 

My back is up against the wall 

Hopin' that you'll take my call 

Collect from Wichita 

I hear that cold dial tone 

I've got my heart on hold 

Voice says will you take this call 

Collect from Wichita 

This time I've spent I've just been driftin' 

And I ain't got nothin' left 

Yeah, I've been bent and twisted 

Into this state of helplessness 

My back is up against the wall 

Hopin' that you'll take my call 

Collect from Wichita
