K.C. Girl

(album: Look Long - 2020)

I was thinking about how I needed a ride
From the swimming pool to the other side of town
Yeah, I got a cousin, but it's too late to call
And there's a perfect stranger who can find me
In the last light of the parking lot

Thank you, Kansas City girl
With your long hair tangled, your tattooed skin
And your Hip Hop Hits radio

Turned down low, Kansas City girl
I still hear what you're playing
Where I'm coming from ain't the same ol' rodeo

I was thinking about how quiet it can get
Paying for a ride and you both know what to expect
You got a job to do, I like to be alone
To watch the city scape and think about
How I'm old enough to be your mom

Thank you, Kansas City girl
With your long hair tangled, your tattooed skin
And your Hip Hop Hits radio

With your window down, I can feel the summer
It kind of makes me happy, it kind of makes me sad
I was thinking of all our destinations
Where do you go, when no one's in the back?

Thank you, Kansas City girl
With your long hair tangled, your tattooed skin
And your Hip Hop Hits radio

Turned down low, Kansas City girl
I still hear what you're playing
Where I'm coming from ain't the same ol' rodeo
