V1
There’s somethin’ special ‘bout Missouri
Somethin’ special ‘bout her name
I remember every moment
The love that we made
Back then

Now nothin’s left in Kansas City
And nothin’ holds me here but pain
Cause she left me like the wind
And these memory’s knock me down again
Will it end?

CHORUS:
It’s much better that tomorrow comes
Knowing love was here
And she took her love away
There’s no livin’ without sorrow from
A love that disappears
I can’t let it be that way
I leave Missouri today
I leave Missouri today

V2
There’s somethin’ special ‘bout her home town
Somethin’ special ‘bout her face
But if I leave this very moment
Her memory will fade
Away

One thing's good ‘bout Independence
That’s the place I catch the train
And when I ride toward Colorado
Sorrow will become my shadow
I can let her go

REPEAT CHORUS

BRIDGE:
No more sorrow
No more pain
Colorado any place
I gotta go. I gotta go

REPEAT CHORUS
