Kansas Anymore

Liner Notes

Just sat around with an acoustic guitar figuring out a simple chord pattern, recorded it, then wrote the lyrics off the top of my head in a free-form way as I listened to the playback, then recorded the vocal in one take.

Lyrics

When I saw those waves crash
On the opposite shore
I knew right then
I wasn’t in Kansas anymore

Sailboats glide across this silver bay

This boat is launched

And it’s on its way
Dappled sunlight
Casts its shadows on the sand

You leave a lot

When you leave your land

The nomads are so nomadic

They come and go

But I’m not so automatic
I make my decisions slow

Sailboats glide across this silver bay

This boat is launched

And it’s on its way
Dappled sunlight
Casts its shadows on the sand

You leave a lot

When you leave your land

I had a growing list
Of all my reasons to go

But my heart still aches
Cos I didn’t really want to go

Sailboats glide across this silver bay

This boat is launched

And it’s on its way
Dappled sunlight
Casts its shadows on the sand

You leave a lot

When you leave your land
