Kansas City The New Basement Tapes
I listen to you time and time again While you tell me just what's right And you tell me a thousand things a day Then sleep somewhere's else in the night I'm going back to Kansas City
And I love you dear, but just how long Can I keep singing the same old song And I love you dear, but just how long Can I keep singing the same old song I'm going back to Kansas City
And you called me to come, then I do Then you say you've made some mistake You invite me into your house Then you say gotta to pay for what you break Going back to Kansas City
And I love you dear, but just how long Can I keep singing the same old song And I love you dear, but just how long Can I keep singing the same old song I'm going back to Kansas City
Gypsy woman, you know every place I go Even a thousand miles away from home And you don't care if I'm asleep or I'm awake This fickle heart just turned to stone Going back to Kansas City
And I love you dear, but just how long Can I keep singing the same old song And I love you dear, but just how long Can I keep singing the same old song I'm going back to Kansas City
And I love you dear, but just how long Can I keep singing the same old song And I love you dear, but just how long Can I keep singing the same old song I'm going back to Kansas City

What does the story of Absalom have to do with Jesus and the cross?
