[david carradine, sharon benson, david carradine & sharon benson]

( … well, you know. maybe it’s that dorothy gale and the scarecrow and all that, but, it’s also the geographical [?] center of [?] north america… and it, and it means child of the south wind in some indian dialect or language [whatever they call it?] i don’t know [… child?] but i don’t care. anyhow. [sigh] pardon me if i cry during this song, [it just?] sometimes happens.)

i used to be a roving cowboy
take it straight from me
used to be a moving target
hunting women never ever [saved their scr+ps for me?]
[kids would never show a bull?]
that’s how it used to be

well, i was coming up from oklahoma
with my trailer and my mare
heading for the rodeo in tacoma
i had to try my luck up there

i was travelin’ free and easy
singin’ high and wide
partners with a cool and breezy
solitude, my bride
kansas [… tumble and roll?] and
took me for a ride

kansas, kansas flyer
had to take a kansas flyer
on that autumn day
had to take a kansas flyer
now i’ve lost my way
knew one day my luck would fail
[walking?] up the chisholm trail
[bucking?] that october gale
old man winter at my tail

had to get between [one …?]
coming up the draw
saw you hitching for a ride
just south of wichita

i slowed down for no good reason
must have been the change of season
i was only passing through
when i laid my eyes on you

kansas, kansas flyer
thought that i could kiss and run
thinking what a fool she’d [done?]
quickly make my getaway
oh, and run all through the day

well, winter’s come n’ winter’s gone
and i’m still hangin’ around
if i’m still the way i was
i should be leaving town
might as well own it up i guess
now that summer’s finally here
must’ve found my happiness
i’ll sing it loud and clear

kansas, kansas flyer
had to take a kansas flyer
every day the wheat rose higher
kansas flyer’s got me now
if i ever leave i won’t know how

now i’m just like any jerk
now i’m singing while i work
toiling down this endless field of rye
took a kansas flyer
now i’ll be here till i die
and you know what?
can’t even remember the reason why

(oh, i remember)

kansas, kansas flyer
kansas flyer’s got me now
if i ever leave i don’t know how

well, now i’ve come to settle down
wasn’t very hard
my mare has a pasture on the hill
there’s a little girl named kansas
playing in the yard
and the trailer [… wheel?]
kansas, kansas flyer
had to take a kansas flyer
every day the wheat+

[the song is cut short in the video, which continues with tall tales, and parts of walk a country mile and set me free]
