These days I'm layin' low in San Diego, and you know that's where the sun shines all the time But every now and then I get the bad jones to go home, so I call some old friends of mine And they ask me if I like the place I'm livin' in, I tell 'em California's pretty happening But buddy out of everywhere I've been....
Should have stopped in Wichita, that was where I had it all There's a woman there with brown hair she never did-a one thing wrong Wonder what she's doing now wonder how her life turned out Yeah I got to see it all, should have stopped in Wichita
I've come from a long long line of dreamers, and leavers, could have been the gypsy in my blood Maybe I saw one too many wheatfields, big deal, maybe it got too close to love. That was when I thought I had it figured out, really wasn't ready then to settle down Wish I knew then what I know now....
Would have stopped in Wichita, that was where I had it all There's a woman there with brown hair, never did-a one thing wrong Wonder what she's doing now wonder how her life turned out Yeah I got to see it all, should have stopped in Wichita
Guess there's nothing left to do now, just get on with my life somehow, so I keep throwndown
Should have stopped in Wichita, that was where I had it all There's a woman there with brown hair she never did a damn thing wrong Wonder where we'd right now, how it would have all turned out Yeah I got to see it all, should have stopped in Wichita Yeah I got to see it all, should have stayed in Wichita
