Damien Jurado - Kansas City Lyrics

KANSAS CITY - I FOUGHT BACK THE TEARS
I KNOW THAT I SHOULD HAVE BEEN THRILLED
I CAN'T SMILE - KNOWING ALL THE WHILE
EVERYTHING YOU DID YOU DID FOR YOU
KANSAS CITY - HE ASKS ME HOW I'VE BEEN
I LIE AND THEN SAY THAT I'VE BEEN FINE
WORDS THAT TRAILED OFF..THAT'S AS FAR AS WE GOT
I KNOW THAT I SHOULD HAVE BEEN THRILLED
KANSAS CITY - I AM NOT HIS SON
I BELONG TO MY MOTHER WHO'S NOW GONE
ALL WAS LEFT TO ME, THAT'S WHY HE'S RETURNED
I KNOW THAT I SHOULD HAVE BEEN THRILLED
KANSAS CITY - THANKS FOR YOUR CONCERN
I WILL LEARN TO GET BY ON MY OWN
ORPHANED BY MY STATE, COMMON BY HIS NAME
I KNOW SOMEDAY I WILL RETURN
