Missouri Loves Company

Is it a sin to live without
To look within?
I didn’t know which way to turn
He had to go
And so I’ve learned
And now forever and a day
I will wait in that Show-Me-State

Yes, Virginia
There’ a world to see
But without you, where can it be?
I’m going to Kansas City
But that’s just me
On a Greyhound bus from Tennessee
No need to worry
I ain’t in no hurry
Missouri loves company

Down a country lane I leave behind
A little pain
And as I cross the county line
And every state in my mind
I’ve got nothing to lose
Like St. Louis
I’ve got the blues

Minneapolis through Saint Paul
The pain’s the same and that ain’t all
I’m heading north where my lover calls
I’m not going down like Niagara Falls

I’ve got to do what’s best for me
That’s finding you
I’ll travel on near or far
Until I find
The place you are

Yes, Virginia there’s a world to see
But without you where can it be?
I’m going to Kansas City
But that’s just me
All the way from Graceland Tennessee
There’s no need to worry
I ain’t in no hurry
Missouri loves company
