Collect From Wichita Lyrics

It's rainin' cats and dogs At a diner outside Wichita Out of money, our of breath Somewhere in the great midwest It ain't like you'll walk through that door A thousand miles from Baltimore But if you did you'd understand I'm drowning in this promise land This time I've spent I've just been driftin' And I ain't got nothin' left Yeah, I've been bent and twisted Into this state of helplessness My back is up against the wall Hopin' that you'll take my call Collect from Wichita Left Austin road in a cloud of dust Screaming blind and furious Splinters in my hands and feet From pieces of our broken dreams This time I've spent I've just been driftin' And I ain't got nothin' left Yeah, I've been bent and twisted Into this state of helplessness My back is up against the wall Hopin' that you'll take my call Collect from Wichita I hear that cold dial tone I've got my heart on hold Voice says will you take this call Collect from Wichita This time I've spent I've just been driftin' And I ain't got nothin' left Yeah, I've been bent and twisted Into this state of helplessness My back is up against the wall Hopin' that you'll take my call Collect from Wichita
