On The Road In Kansas City

     
 

On the road in Kansas City

What a strange way to go

Slippin’ and slidin’ at everybody’s door

Like a friend that I used to know

All the good old boys keep a hangin’ around

But the women all leave too soon

So I’m givin’ up the fight ‘cause it’s

Dimmin’ my light like a cloud rolling cross the moon

 

On the road in Kansas City

What a strange site to see

Ziggin’ and zaggin’ at everybody’s door

Like a friend that I used to be

Well I went down to the payroll department

Just to see what I got due

When they burn you for a million you don’t really feel it

When they get you for a dollar you do

 

On the road in Kansas City

What a strange way to lose

Slippin’ and slidin’ and ziggin’ and zaggin’

Knocked the soles right off my shoes

Well I wailed on down the wide Missouri

And made it to the other shore

But I’m leaving tonight if I make the flight

Got a crowd callin’ out for more

 

On the road, On the road, On the road

 

All the good old boys keep a hangin’ around

But the women all leave too soon

So I’m givin’ up the fight ‘cause it’s

Dimmin’ my light like a cloud rolling cross the moon

 

On the road, On the road, On the road


Welcome To Riddle Bridge
