作曲 : Ragosta There's no hope in Cincinnati There's no town like Baton Rouge I can offer you Chicago, still there's nothing I can do So I'm holding fast to Houston While she screams Niagara Falls and I hope and pray you won't return at all and I hope and pray you won't return at all As the lights burn out in Mississippi As the tears roll down in old St. Paul I'll be writing you this letter Kansas City Where I hope and pray you won't return at all There's no left turn to Jersey I don't care for San Jose I'll probably go to Vegas in the fall Head west to San Diego While New York is standing tall and I hope and pray you won't return at all As the lights burn out in Mississippi As the tears roll down in old St. Paul I'll be writing you this letter Kansas City Where I hope and pray you won't return at all As the sun comes up in Pasadena When the waves crash down on the Carolinas When I lose all hope in Colorado When the heat dies down, down in Arizona And every song I sing I'll sing for you I'll call at 3am just like I always do Every second every minute every hour of the day You're always on my mind As the lights burn out in Mississippi As the tears roll down in old St. Paul I'll be writing you this letter Kansas City Where I hope and pray you won't return at all! Where I hope and pray you won't return at all! Where I hope and pray you won't return at all!
