Connie Conway - Kansas State Line Lyrics

I've never been west of the Kansas State Line
I've stayed home all my life, and I've worked hard all the time

But I'm a rover at heart, and I've made up my mind
To see what's out west of the Kansas State Line

My dad is a farmer in the Middle West
He swears that Missouri tops all of the rest

He begs me to stay home, a farmer to be
But farming in Missouri wasn't meant for me

Cause I'm a rover at heart, and I'm bound to go
To see if it's true, what I've seen in that show

Those cattle, those cowboys; that ropin' was fine
I'm bound to go west of the Kansas State Line

You've all heard the tale of the Great Alamo
Custer at the Big Bend and the brave Navajo

Those wide-open spaces, a life that is free
Just me and my pony, how happy I'd be

Drinkin' and gambling, and wasting my time
I'm bound to go west of the Kansas State Line

I've never been west of the Kansas State Line
I've stayed home all my life, and I've worked hard all the time

But I'm a rover at heart, and I've made up my mind
To see what's out west of the Kansas State Line

My dad is a farmer in the Middle West
He swears that Missouri tops all of the rest

He begs me to stay home, a farmer to be
But farming in Missouri wasn't meant for me

Cause I'm a rover at heart, and I'm bound to go
To see if it's true, what I've seen in that show

Those cattle, those cowboys; that ropin' was fine
I'm bound to go west of the Kansas State Line

You've all heard the tale of the Great Alamo
Custer at the Big Bend and the brave Navajo

Those wide-open spaces, a life that is free
Just me and my pony, how happy I'd be

Drinkin' and gambling, and wasting my time
I'm bound to go west of the Kansas State Line
