Katie Buchanan - Kansas Lyrics

I could drive on back to Kansas
Turn up empty handed singing
"They took me for granted in the city"
But I know what they've been saying
Yea I know how they've been praying
I know how they've been waiting on me

So I keep working on my feet
Keeping heels inline with me
Keeping all ten toes pointed at the far end of the street
I keep tearing up my mind
Thinking every though that flies to me

Like if I can't leave, I better learn to stay
If I can't see I better look another way
And If I can't breathe the air I'm taking in
I better find a second wind

I grew up in New York City
Seventeen and pretty
Far wider eyed that I had any right to be
But I was only country jaded
The kind of cynical that traded in
For futures bright and easy to believe

But my heart's keeping every beat
Keeping time and keeping me
Every night it's keeping me
It's keeping me

So if I can't leave I better learn to stay
If I can't see I better look another way
And if I can't breathe the air I'm taking in
I better find a second wind

But my heart's keeping every beat
But my heart's keeping every beat
But my heart's keeping every beat

And if I can't leave I better learn to stay
If I can't see I better look another way
And if I can't breathe the air I'm taking in
I better find a second wind
