I cant help but think a little clearer
with Kansas City disappearin in my mirror.
Im going back to a place I know I love
God knows I do my day to day
And I know Ive got to get away
I gotta get back. Its another attack to pass some music on.
Chorus: Take me back to a place I know its a deeper side of my life.
Take me back where I wanna go where heart are warm and light.
In the middle of September, I always remember everything is all right.
Down by the Walnut River in the presence of a Winfield Kansas night.
I still see mom and dad, playin games with us kids in that old tent we had
And after the rain was gone we were still havin funpassin music on.
Air fills with campground lullabies now Im closing my smilin eyes
To Blackberry Blossom, a Horn Pipe or two
Its that Kindergarten Wall, Ragtime Annie and You.
Rep. Chorus:
Then its time to leave the place you love
With roots so deep, so far from the push and shove.
And its a well-worn weary tear, that trickles down a rear view mirror
After the smiles and all of the miles all you can think about is makin it back next year.
Take me back to a place I know its a deeper side of my life.
Take me back where I wanna go where heart are warm and light.
In the middle of September, I always remember everything is all right.
Down by the Walnut River in the presence of a Winfield Kansas night.
Down by the Walnut River in the presence of a Winfield Kansas night.
