Back in town

With blown-out lungs and shot eardrums

And misplaced kisses

And someone who misses

Who missed me in Kansas

The second I got out of the van

I saw you giving your cash to the doorman

I saw the X on your hand

And I knew you were the one

Or I knew you’d understand

But oh…

I wish we could have talked all night

We had to be in Illinois by daylight

And what I wouldn’t give to be your man

But I can’t break up the band

And Jeane…

There must be more than letters and phone calls

So say "I'll come see Maine when the snow falls"

Just say "I'll come see Maine when the snow falls"

There’s kissing in Kansas, but that’s not home

And we sigh when we’re on the phone

But the voice in my ear

Says it wouldn’t be the same if you moved here

But it’s just miles

It’s only miles

It’s just miles

And miles and miles and miles and miles and miles
