[Verse 1] I'll casually say "hey" and wave When I finally meet you The tickets are expensive To get there from where I live I guess I'll take the highway You had that Expo in the spring But I had school and home and things [Chorus 1] In the beginning, it was easy to deny A good friend of mine lives in Kansas [Verse 2] Heard of your predicament Sending my deepest regrets Twenty dollars are enclosed To get you through these darker times I hope that we both stay alive Enough to figure something out I'd like to take the train right now [Chorus 2] In the beginning, it was easy to deny A good friend of mine lives in Kansas In the beginning, it was easy to deny A good friend of mine lives in Kansas In the beginning, it was easy to deny A good friend of mine lives in Kansas In the beginning, it was easy to deny A good friend of mine lives in Kansas Oh, oh, oh, oh Oh, oh, oh, oh [Bridge] Go to Virginia Richmond or Williamsburg Some college kid living on his parents' dime And wouldn't it be fine? If he could come and visit you Oh, it'd make his parents cry Ooh, ooh, ooh Ooh, ooh, ooh [Chorus 2] In the beginning, it was easy to deny A good friend of mine lives in Kansas And in the end,​ it was easy to deny Another lonely day down in Kansas [Outro] Raised in a graveyard Strange this displacement I will take great pains To get to those great plains Drop out of college Move to Topeka A good friend of mine lives there
