wichita (revival outtake) - gillian welch lyrics
[verse 1]
she went back to wichita
she went back to her ma and pa
reckon i saw her next to my truck
pumping gas with the car packed up
[verse 2]
we talked as neighbors will
there waiting for the tanks to fill
we talked about nothing
how it might snow
how far she had to go
[chorus]
going back where the grass grows tall
and the fields burn in the fall
you can still hear the night birds call
back in wichita
[verse 3]
she came in ’85
she came here as a july bride
but it never got easy
never got rich
ain’t got much but what she came here with
[verse 4]
good times have all been spent
she ain’t broken but she’s badly bent
there’s nothing she wants here
nothing that shines
she’s made up her mind
[chorus]
going back where the grass grows tall
and the fields burn in the fall
you can still hear the night birds call
back in wichita
[bridge]
she says for all my time
well i ain’t got much to show
you can tell that man of mine and anyone who wants to know
[chorus]
going back where the grass grows tall
and the fields burn in the fall
you can still hear the night birds call
back in wichita
