lyrics

G C G
Born in Kansas City, yes I grew up in this town
G D G
Born in Kansas City, and I ain’t traveled around
C G Em D
And if I don’t leave here soon I think that I might go insane
C G D G
Born in Kansas City, ya, this state it rules my brain

G C G
Came from California yes I moved out to this state
G D G
My parents said don’t worry, we’re sure it will be great
C G Em D
But now that I’ve grown older, I’ve come to realize
C G D G
If I don’t leave here soon I will rip out my fucking eyes

C G
Gotta get the fuck outta kansas
D G
Gotta get the fuck outta here
C G
Gotta get the fuck outta kansas
D G
It’s time to disappear

G C G
Well I got a full-time job but man we all know how that goes
G D G
You work and slave all day and in the end it never shows
C G Em D
And in my heart I know, my life is doomed to fail
C G D G
If i get stuck forever, working in retail
G C G
Been trying to save our money, to get a place to call our own
G D G
Been trying to save our money, a little place we can call home
C G Em D
But our bank accounts are empty, seems that it’s no use
C G D G
Cuz we spend all our money on cigarettes and booze

[chorus]
[solo - same as verse]

G C G
Seems that I am stuck here, can’t deny that anymore
G D G
Hope I can get out one day and see the California shore
C G EmD
Til then I’ll laugh and drink and fuck, and play on my guitar
C G D G
And all that I can hope is that one day it’ll take me far
G C G
Some days I get the feeling, I will never be anything
G D G
Like I’m going through the motions until the thought it stats to sting
C G Em D
And it doesn’t help that I am stuck living in a place like this
C G D G
Oh it’s time to leave forever, this place will not be missed

[chorus]x2
