Lyrics

There's no hope in cincinnati
There's no town like baton rouge
I can offer you chicago, still there's nothing I can do
So I'm holding fast to houston
While she screams niagara falls
And I hope and pray you won't return at all
And I hope and pray you won't return at all

As the lights burn out in mississippi
As the tears roll down in old st. paul
I'll be writing you this letter kansas city
Where I hope and pray you won't return at all

There's no left turn to jersey
I don't care for san jose
I'll probably go to vegas in the fall
Head west to san diego
While new york is standing tall
And I hope and pray you won't return at all

As the lights burn out in mississippi
As the tears roll down in old st. paul
I'll be writing you this letter kansas city
Where I hope and pray you won't return at all

As the sun comes up in pasadena
When the waves crash down on the carolinas
When I lose all hope in colorado
When the heat dies down, down in arizona
And every song I sing I'll sing for you
I'll call at 3am just like I always do
Every second every minute every hour of the day
You're always on my mind

As the lights burn out in mississippi
As the tears roll down in old st. paul
I'll be writing you this letter kansas city
Where I hope and pray you won't return at all
Where I hope and pray you won't return at all
Where I hope and pray you won't return at all
