[Verse]

She went back 

to Wichita

She went back 

to her ma and 

pa

Reckon I saw h

er next to my 

truck
              
Pumping gas wi

       
th the car pac

ked up.

We talked as n

eighbors will

There waiting 

for the tanks 

to fill
   
We talked abou

t nothing, how

 it might snow
              
How far she ha

     
d to go.


[Chorus]
      
Going back whe

              
re the grass g

     
rows tall
        
And the fields

      
 burn in the f

 
all
              
You can still 

              
hear the night

       
 birds call
              
Back in Wichit

[Verse]

She came in '8

5

Came here as a

 July bride
       
But it never g

ot easy, never

 got rich
              
Ain't got much

              
 but what she 


came here with

.

Good times hav

e all been spe

nt

She ain't brok

e but she's ba

dly bent
        
There's nothin

g she wants he

re, nothing th

at shines
              
She's made up 

    
her mind.


[Chorus]
             
Going back whe

              
re the grass g

     
rows tall
            
And the fields

            
 burn in the f

all
              
You can still 

              
hear the night

       
 birds call
              
Back in Wichit

[Instrumental]
      
      
        
       


             
Going back whe

              
re the grass g

     
rows tall
            
And the fields

You can still 

              
hear the night

       
 birds call
              
Back in Wichit
