I GOT MY BROTHER
FRANK'S SUITCASE
HE USED IT ONCE
TO JOIN THE ARMY
BUT THEY FOUND OUT
HE HAD FLAT FEET
HE STAYED GONE
BARELY TWO WEEKS
I GOT MY SISTER
PEARL'S BEST DRESS
SHE USED TO WEAR IT
DANCIN'
BUT NOW SHE'S
MARRIED
TO A PREACHER
HE DON'T ALLOW
THAT KIND OF THING
AND I'M STANDIN' BY
THIS GREYHOUND
I'M SO SCARED
THAT I CAN'T STAND IT
ALL PACKED UP
WITH THEIR
HAND ME DOWNS
AND THIS TICKET
OUT OF KANSAS
OH MY TICKET
OUT OF KANSAS
AUNT LOUISE
THINKS I CAN SING
SHE THINKS
I'VE GOT A SHOT
SHE GAVE ME
HER FIRST
WEDDING RING
SHE LET ME PUT IT
IN HOCK
MAMA SWEARS
THAT I'M A TREASURE
THAT I'VE GOT
DIAMONDS
IN MY SOUL
WAITING TO BE
DISCOVERED
WAITING FOR
THE WORLD TO KNOW
AND I'M CLIMBING
BOARD
THIS GREYHOUND
I'M SO SCARED
THAT I CAN'T STAND IT
ALL PACKED UP
WITH THEIR
HAND ME DOWNS
AND THIS TICKET
OUT OF KANSAS
OH MY TICKET
OUT OF KANSAS
TICKET OUT OF KANSAS
8 BAR
INSTRUMENTAL
BREAK
DADDY HANDS ME
HIS BIBLE
MARKED TO THE BOOK
OF JOB
HE SAYS GIRL
YOU'RE GONNA NEED IT
GIRL YOU BETTER GO
AND I'M WAVING
FROM THIS GREYHOUND
I'M SO SCARED
THAT I CAN'T STAND IT
ALL PACKED UP
WITH THEIR
HAND ME DOWNS
AND THIS TICKET
OUT OF KANSAS
AND THEY'RE ALL
WAVING AT MY
GREYHOUND
I'M SO SCARED
THAT I CAN'T STAND IT
I KNOW SO MANY
DREAMS ARE FOUND
WITH THIS TICKET
OUT OF KANSAS
OH MY TICKET
OUT OF KANSAS
TICKET OUT OF KANSAS
OH MY TICKET
OUT OF KANSAS
OH MY TICKET
OUT OF KANSAS
