[D] [C] [G] [C]
She went back to Wichita, she went back to her ma and [G] pa
Reckon I saw her next to my truck, pumping [C] gas with the car packed up
We talked as neighbors will, they're waiting for the tank [G] to fill
Well you talk about knocking and how it might slow, how far [C] she had to go
[F] Going back where the [G] grass grows tall
[Am] And the [C] fields burn [F] in the fall
You'd still hear the [G] night birds [F] call, [C] back in Wichita
[G] [C]
She came here in 85, she came here as a July [G] bride
But it never got easy, never got rich, ain't got [C] much for what she came here with
Good times have all been spent, she ain't broken but she's badly [G] bent
Now there's nothing she wants here, nothing that shines, she [C] made up her mind
[F] Going [C] back where the grass [G] grows tall
[Am] And the [C] fields burn [F] in the fall
You'd still hear the night [G] birds call, [F] back in [C] Wichita
