Lyrics - Wichita

Wichita
(Written by Houston Robert, Dave Turnbull, Roxie Dean, and Rivers Rutherford, from 2007's Disciples Of The Truth)

These days I'm laying low in San Diego
And you know that's where the sun shines all the time
Every now and then I get a bad jones to go home
So I call some old friends of mine
And they ask me if I like the place I'm livin' in
I tell 'em California's pretty happenin'
But buddy outta everywhere I've been

I should've stopped in Wichita
That was where I had it all
There's a woman there with brown hair
Who never did on thing wrong
I wonder what she's doin' now
I wonder how her life turned out
Sure I got to see it all
But I should've stopped in Wichita

I come from a long, long line of dreamers, leavers
Coulda been the gypsy in my blood
Maybe I just saw one too many wheat fields, big deal
Maybe it got too close to love
That was when I thought I had it figured out
Wasn't really ready then to settle down
Wish I knew back then what I know now

I should've stopped in Wichita
That was where I had it all
There's a woman there with brown hair
Who never did on thing wrong
I wonder where we'd be by now
How it would've all turned out
Yeah I got to see it all
But I should've stopped in Wichita

I guess there's nothin' left to do now
But just get on with my life somehow
So I keep rollin'

I should've stopped in Wichita
Back where I still had it all
There's a woman there with brown hair
Who never did a damn thing wrong
I wonder where we'd be by now
Yeah I got to see it all
But I shoulda stopped in Wichita
I shoulda stopped in Wichita
