Collect From Wichita — текст песни (Ronna Reeves)

(Neal Coty/Randy Vanwarmer)

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
