These days I'm layin' low in San Diego,
and you know that's where the sun shines all the time

But every now and then I get the bad jones to go home,
so I call some old friends of mine

And they ask me if I like the place I'm livin' in,
I tell 'em California's pretty happening

But buddy out of everywhere I've been....

Should have stopped in Wichita, that was where I had it all

There's a woman there with brown hair she never did-a one thing wrong

Wonder what she's doing now wonder how her life turned out

Yeah I got to see it all, should have stopped in Wichita

I've come from a long long line of dreamers,
and leavers, could have been the gypsy in my blood

Maybe I saw one too many wheatfields,
big deal, maybe it got too close to love.

That was when I thought I had it figured out,
really wasn't ready then to settle down

Wish I knew then what I know now....

Would have stopped in Wichita, that was where I had it all

There's a woman there with brown hair, never did-a one thing wrong

Wonder what she's doing now wonder how her life turned out

Yeah I got to see it all, should have stopped in Wichita

Guess there's nothing left to do now,
just get on with my life somehow, so I keep throwndown

Should have stopped in Wichita, that was where I had it all

There's a woman there with brown hair she never did a damn thing wrong

Wonder where we'd right now, how it would have all turned out

Yeah I got to see it all, should have stopped in Wichita

Yeah I got to see it all, should have stayed in Wichita
