lyrics

Watching the trucks go by,
This beautiful city is wasted on these eyes.
Somewhere between Missouri,
And the place where we met,
I ran out of gas and the Chevy died.

Kansas City breakdown for me,
The river town lights are all I see.
Honey put on your nightgown,
Take a glass of red wine to bed,
And watch Kansas City breakdown over me.

Honey hold on to your end,
Of the bargain we made,
You’ve got to move on and move up.
Lay your bible down,
There ain’t no need to pray for me.
Heaven knows I am right where I belong.

Kansas City breakdown for me,
The river town lights are all I see.
Honey put on your nightgown,
Take a glass of red wine to bed,
And watch Kansas City breakdown over me.
