He was born in El Dorado

An hour´s ride from Wichita

His dad got killed by a tornado

Mummy moved to Emporia

    He didn´t like Kansas

    He didn´t like Kansas

So he learned to play the trumpet

Should´ve heard him play the guitar

Man, he sang like Lyle Lovett

When he´s out riding in his car

    He didn´t like Kansas

    He didn´t like Kansas

    He didn´t like Kansas

    He got them Kansas City Turnpike Blues

He drove a truck to earn his livin´

His baby daughter´d just turned two

He sang his music in the evening

That´s what he really loved to do

    And it still was Kansas

    It still was Kansas

Finally made his way to Austin

Sang the blues there all night long

Was too long that he had not been

With his baby way back home

    Now he missed Kansas

    Now he missed Kansas

    Yeah he missed Kansas

    He got them Kansas City Turnpike Blues
