Kansas Lyrics

[Verse 1]
The cattle drives all had to end
They had to end in Kansas
The railhead towns all bored a hole
In the pockets of your soul
But oh sinner man, oh sinner man
You got no home in Kansas
The only truth could be said of you
Is you're just passin’ through

[Verse 2]
If you could speak but a single truth
Be you weren't born to Kansas
You lied 'bout your age growin’ up
Lied on the way down too
But oh sinner man, oh sinner man
The ladies you stole while in Kansas
As if they believed a single thing
Just humored you, that's what they do

[Verse 3]
You traded a sixteen-hand quarter horsе
For a pint-size painted pony
Thought to blend in whеn you crossed the plains
Like you thought you could ride those trains
But oh sinner man, oh sinner man
The telegraph travels faster
The lawmen all have shotguns now
And the boxcars all are cold

[Instrumental Break]
Oh sinner man, oh sinner man

[Verse 4]
Was wintertime when you packed it in
The blizzards roared through Kansas
You took a day job shoveling coal
Working wages broke your soul
But oh sinner man, oh sinner man
Where you gonna run to?
No one believes your stories now
Even when you tell the truth
