I been to Kansas and I’ve seen the wind blow
And I’ve seen the weary eyed people, smiling, pack up and go
bound for Oz … ever Eastward easy dream …
That they can leave the Kansas dust behind them
is easy … so it seems

But I’ve found the days wait relentless here
I’ve come back too many times …
to the morning after empty days
with the wine and passion burned out.

We can go to Oz together and hide from that Kansas wind
but when we return its always alone
To the state we left our life in.
