VERSE:
 G                     D      Em
I've got my old man's Delta '88
     Am                 D            Bm7
The windows cracked I'm on the interstate
        Am              D      Em                 C
Just a hundred miles to go on half a tank of gasoline
       Am                      B
Lucky charms and Tic-Tacs and mom's amphetamines


CHORUS:
           C       D            Em
A hundred miles to go to Kansas City
 C        D              Em
February makes me kinda crazy
           C       D             Em
A hundred miles to go to Kansas City
C                    D              Em
 Will you still be callin' me your baby


VERSE:
   G              D                Em
I met a man in a diner outside of Hays
         Am                    D
He said marriage brought him there
    Bm7
It was divorce that made him stay
   Am                   D             Em
I drove straight through to Junction City
           C                Am
I thought I'd call you in Topeka
 B
But I didn't want the pity



CHORUS:
           C       D            Em
A hundred miles to go to Kansas City
 C        D              Em
February makes me kinda crazy
           C       D             Em
A hundred miles to go to Kansas City
C                    D              Em
 Will you still be callin' me your baby


BREAK:
                   Am              Em
Feels like I been thrown into the slammer
          Am            Em
With the back end of a hammer
Am                Em
  Drawn over my strings
Am                 Em
Aw, living became needing
    Am            Em
My crying became bleeding
        Am         Em
And now I am only dreaming

CHORUS:
           C       D            Em
A hundred miles to go to Kansas City
 C        D              Em
February makes me kinda crazy
           C       D             Em
A hundred miles to go to Kansas City
C                    D              Em
 Will you still be callin' me your baby
    C                  D     Em
Oh will you still be callin' me
