Bilingual
She went back to Wichita
She went back to her ma and pa
Reckon I saw her next to my truck
Pumpin' gas with the car packed up
We talked as neighbors will
There waitin' for the tanks to fill
We talked about nothin', how it might snow
How far she had to go
Goin' back where the grass grows tall
And the fields burn in the fall
You can still hear the night birds call
Back in Wichita
She came in '85
She came here as a July bride
But it never got easy, never got rich
Ain't got much but what she came here with
Good times have all been spent
She ain't broken but she's badly bent
There's nothin' she wants here, nothin' that shines
She made up her mind
Goin' back where the grass grows tall
And the fields burn in the fall
You can still hear the night birds call
Back in Wichita
She says, "For all my time, well I ain't got much to show
You can tell that man of mine and anyone who wants to know"
Goin' back where the grass grows tall
And the fields burn in the fall
You can still hear the night birds call
Back in Wichita
Goin' back where the grass grows tall
And the fields burn in the fall
You can still hear the night birds call
Back in Wichita
