Damien Jurado - Kansas City lyrics

Kansas City, I hold back my tears I know that I should have been thrilled I can't smile, knowing all the while Everything you did, you did for you Kansas City, you ask me how I've been I lie and then say that I've been fine Words that trailed off, as is far as we got I know that I should have been thrilled Kansas City, I am not her son I belong to my mother who's now gone Always left to leave that's why he has returned I know I should have been thrilled Kansas City, thanks for your concern I will learn to get back on my own Orphaned by my stake, call him by his name I know someday I will return I know someday I will return I know someday I will return I know someday I will return I know someday I will return I know someday I will return
