On the
road in Kansas City
What a
strange way to go
Slippin’
and slidin’ at everybody’s door
Like a
friend that I used to know
All the
good old boys keep a hangin’ around
But the
women all leave too soon
So I’m
givin’ up the fight ‘cause it’s
Dimmin’ my
light like a cloud rolling cross the moon
On the
road in Kansas City
What a
strange site to see
Ziggin’
and zaggin’ at everybody’s door
Like a
friend that I used to be
Well I
went down to the payroll department
Just to
see what I got due
When they
burn you for a million you don’t really feel it
When they
get you for a dollar you do
On the
road in Kansas City
What a
strange way to lose
Slippin’
and slidin’ and ziggin’ and zaggin’
Knocked
the soles right off my shoes
Well I
wailed on down the wide Missouri
And made
it to the other shore
But I’m
leaving tonight if I make the flight
Got a
crowd callin’ out for more
On the
road, On the road, On the road
All the
good old boys keep a hangin’ around
But the
women all leave too soon
So I’m
givin’ up the fight ‘cause it’s
Dimmin’ my
light like a cloud rolling cross the moon
On the
road, On the road, On the road
