you're back in town

with blown out lungs

and shot ear drums

and misplaced kisses

and someone who misses

misses me in Kansas 

The second I got out of the van

I saw you giving your cash to the doorman

I saw the "X" on your hand--

I knew you're the one

one who'd understand, and oh--

I wish we could've talked all night

we had to be in Illinois by daylight

and what I wouldn't give to be your man,

but I can't break up the band and Jeanne,

There must be more than letters and phone calls

so say you'll come see Maine when the snow falls

just say you'll come see Maine when the snow falls.

There's kissing in Kansas

but that's not home

and you'll cry when you're on the phone

but the voice in my ear

says it wouldn't be the same, if you moved here

there's just miles

there's only miles

there's just miles

and miles and miles and miles and miles and miles and miles and miles and miles 

and miles and miles and miles and miles and miles and miles and miles and miles 

and miles and miles and miles and miles...
