Verse:
C
She went back to Wichita
C
She went back to her ma and pa
G
Reckon I saw her next to my truck
C
Pumping gas with the car packed up.
C
We talked as neighbors will
C
There waiting for the tanks to fill
G
We talked about nothing, how it might snow
C
How far she had to go.
Chorus:
F G
Going back where the grass grows tall
Am C F
And the fields burn in the fall
G
You can still hear the night birds call
C
Back in Wichita.
Verse:
C
She came in '85
C
Came here as a July bride
G
But it never got easy, never got rich
C
Ain't got much but what she came here with.
C
Good times have all been spent
C
She ain't broke but she's badly bent
G
There's nothing she wants here, nothing that shines
C
She's made up her mind.
Chorus:
F G
Going back where the grass grows tall
Am C F
And the fields burn in the fall
G
You can still hear the night birds call
C
Back in Wichita.
