back in the town
of pulled out lungs
shot ear [bad word] 
displaced kisses
everyone misses
miss 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 were the one
i knew you would understand, so
i wish we could have 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, jeane
there must be more than letters and phonecalls

say [bad word] see maine when the snow falls
say [bad word] see maine when the snow falls

just kiss me in kansas
that's not home
and you're sorry when we're on the phone
but the voice in my ear
says it wouldn't be the same
if you moved here
but this is miles
it's only miles
it's just miles
and miles and miles and miles and miles
