| Is it a sin
|
| To live without
|
| To look within?
|
| I didn’t know
|
| Which way to turn
|
| She had to go And so I’ve learned
|
| And now forever and a day
|
| I will wait
|
| In that Show-Me State
|
| Yes, Virginia, there’s a world to see
|
| But without you, where can it be?
|
| I’m goin' to Kansas City, but that’s just me On a Greyhound bus from Tennessee
|
| No need to worry
|
| I ain’t in no hurry
|
| Missouri loves company
|
| Down each country lane
|
| I leave behind
|
| A little pain
|
| And as I cross
|
| The county line
|
| And every state
|
| In my mind
|
| I’ve got nothin' to lose
|
| Like St. Louis
|
| I got the blues
|
| Yes, Virginia, there’s a world to see
|
| But without you, where can it be?
|
| I’m goin' to Kansas City, but that’s just me On a Greyhound bus from Tennessee
|
| No need to worry
|
| I ain’t in no hurry
|
| Missouri loves company
|
| Minneapolis through Saint Paul
|
| The pain’s the same and that ain’t all
|
| I’m headin' north where my lover calls
|
| I’m not goin down like Niagara Falls
|
| I’ve got to do What’s best for me That’s finding you
|
| I’ll travel on Near or far
|
| 'Til I find
|
| The place you are
|
| Yes, Virginia there’s a world to see
|
| But without you, where can it be?
|
| I’m goin' to Kansas City, but that’s just me All the way from Graceland, Tennessee (Thank you very much!)
|
| There’s no need to worry
|
| I ain’t in no hurry
|
| Missouri loves company
|
| (We miss you, Harry, oh yeah) |
