VERSE:
 G                     D      Em
I`ve got my old man`s Delta `88

     Am                 D            Bm7
The windows cracked I`m on the interstate

        Am              D      Em                 C
Just a hundred miles to go on half a tank of gasoline

       Am                      B
Lucky charms and Tic-Tacs and mom`s amphetamines



CHORUS:
           C       D            Em
A hundred miles to go to Kansas City

 C        D              Em
February makes me kinda crazy

           C       D             Em
A hundred miles to go to Kansas City

C                    D              Em
 Will you still be callin` me your baby



VERSE:
   G              D                Em
I met a man in a diner outside of Hays

         Am                    D
He said marriage brought him there

    Bm7
It was divorce that made him stay

   Am                   D             Em
I drove straight through to Junction City

           C                Am
I thought I`d call you in Topeka

 B
But I didn`t want the pity




CHORUS:
           C       D            Em
A hundred miles to go to Kansas City

 C        D              Em
February makes me kinda crazy

           C       D             Em
A hundred miles to go to Kansas City

C                    D              Em
 Will you still be callin` me your baby



BREAK:
                   Am              Em
Feels like I been thrown into the slammer

          Am            Em
With the back end of a hammer

Am                Em
  Drawn over my strings

Am                 Em
Aw, living became needing

    Am            Em
My crying became bleeding

        Am         Em
And now I am only dreaming

 C        D              Em
February makes me kinda crazy

           C       D             Em
A hundred miles to go to Kansas City

C                    D              Em
