Salina, Im as nowhere as I can beCould you add some somewhere to meAh Kansas Im kneeling, ah Kansas please

Cleveland, I aint never felt nothing so strongBeen believing the words to my songsOhio Im leaving, Ohio Im gone

From town to town and state to stateTheres people everywhere that try to capture usWe stole the cash and left our namesAnd almost slipped in IndianapolisThe rain it fell, the story went onThe rain it fell, and we got gone

Poughkeepsie, hang up the telephoneWont answer your phone calls no moreNew York quit callin,New York leave me be

Changing the plans that Ive been setting onIm scared by the way that my life is getting goneCarolina one day Ill, someday Ill come homeAABAA(B)CodaLyrics
