It's raining cats and dogs
At a diner outside Wichita
Out of money, out of breath
Out here in the great Midwest
It ain't like you walk through that door
A thousand miles from Baltimore
But if you did you'd see a man
Drowning in this promised land
This time I spent I've just been drifting
And I ain't got nothing left
Yeah, I've been bent and I've been twisted
Into this state of common sense
My back is up against the wall
Hoping that you'll take my call
Collect from Wichita
Left Dustin Road in a cloud of dust
Screaming blind and furious
Splinters in my hands and feet
From pieces of our broken dreams
This time I spent I've just been drifting
And I ain't got nothing left
Yeah, I've been bent and I've been twisted
Into this state of common sense
My back is up against the wall
Hoping that you'll take my call
Collect from Wichita
I hear that call down home
I've got my heart on hold
Voice says will you take this call?
Collect from Wichita
This time I spent I've just been drifting
And I ain't got nothing left
Yeah, I've been bent and I've been twisted
Into this state of common sense
My back is up against the wall
Hoping that you'll take my call
Collect from Wichita
Collect from Wichita
Oh darling, please, collect from Wichita
Collect from Wichita
Collect from Wichita
