lyrics

Meet me down in Wichita
We’ll give this town one last hurrah
Then head towards the evening sun
To a place where we can be someone
Driving through and on and on
Breaking free of Babylon
Cross the desert in the dead of night
Toward L.A. sun and L.A. lies.

Wichita, I wish I might
See you again in the morning light
Wichita, oh which it was
The wrong time for one of us.

Meet me down in Wichita
On the edge of the Arkansas
Prairie town of wind and dust
We heard the song, it wasn’t us
Faded streets and father’s lies
Sorry signs to native shrines
The blowing wind turned us color blind
We packed our bags, left you behind.

Wichita, I wish I might
See you again in the morning light
Wichita, oh which it was
The wrong time for one of us.

Meet me down in Wichita
Let’s give this town one last hurrah
We’ll sing and cry and hold on tight
To all that was, to all we might
We’ll fall in love to the dance hall band
Electric Gage at Shadowland
We’ll walk along the promenade
One last time in Wichita.

Wichita, I wish I might
See you again in the fading light
Oh Wichita, where did you go
You’re lost somewhere and I don’t know.

Wichita, I wish I might
See you again in the morning light
Oh Wichita, I wish it was
The right time for the two of us.
