KS

[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
