Well 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.

As she's walking down Ello, turning down Main
She's 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.

Well I stay full of promises dead on her lips
Mark 15:34 tucked next to her hips
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, started to drowned
Thought of her walking, turned back around
I want to move to Kansas City
Move to Kansas.
I want a pretty baby where the sky is so blue.

Well her pair of old wings that open 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 that women tell you she loves you.
Sure she'll call you baby
She'll look in your eye.
Gonna 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.
Oh, oh

And if I could believe what I want to believe.
I'd hold you all close and take you with me.
Follow you to Kansas City.
You to Kansas City
We'll meet yeah where the sky is so blue.
