Travelled in a wagon just like Grandma in '03

1903

She loved to read the bible she loved Jesus Christ

Her car was a Desoto her hair was just like midnight in Kansas

Where the buffalos roam

Kansas where Jay Hawkers score

Where amber waves of grain

Still sing praises to our Lord

Should'a been the home of ol' Henry Ford

Reasons for temperate souls

Seasons and lifetimes of hope In Kansas

Garner was a farmer just like his old dad

Fought in World War 2 I guess against Japan

Helped in Iwo Jima and the Philippines

From Kansas

Where the buffalos roam

Kansas where Jay Hawkers score

Where amber waves of grain

Still sing praises to our Lord

Should'a been the home of ol' Henry Ford

Reasons for temperate souls

Seasons and lifetimes of hope In Kansas
