Bm        A               Em 
Kansas City, I hold back my tears 
Bm        A               Em 
I know that I should have been thrilled 
Bm        A               Em 
I can't smile, knowing all the while 
Bm        A               Em   
Everything you did, you did for you 

Woohoo 

Kansas City, you ask me how I've been 
I lie and then say that I've been fine 
Words that trailed off, thats as far as we got 
I know that I should have been thrilled 

Woohoo 

Kansas City, I am not her son 
I belong to my mother who's now gone 
Always left to leave that's why he has returned 
I know that I should have been thrilled 

Woohoo 

Kansas City, thanks for your concern 
I will learn to get back on my own 
Orphaned by my stake, call him by his name 
I know someday I will return 

I know someday I will return 
I know someday I will return 
I know someday I will return 
I know someday I will return 
I know someday I will return
