For two long weeks you're goin' to Kansas City
And I'm a sure a-gonna miss you while you're gone
This ol' town will seem to die without you
But it sure will come to life when you come home

So, take care of you for me in Kansas City
And honey, call me every now and then
Take care of you for me in Kansas City
'Cause I'll miss you till you're in my arms, again

Now honey, watch those Kansas City Romeos
And don't let 'em fool you with their charms
Have a lot of fun, but remember that I love you
And I'm a-waiting here with my two open arms

So, take care of you for me in Kansas City
And honey, call me every now and then
Take care of you for me in Kansas City
'Cause I'll miss you till you're in my arms, again

Now, I ain't never been to Kansas City
But I've heard stories about the girls that's gone
So if you just gotta go to Kansas City
Take your time a gettin' there but hurry home

And take care of you for me in Kansas City
And honey, call me every now and then
Take care of you for me in Kansas City
'Cause I'll miss you till you're in my arms, again

Yes, I'll miss you till you're in my arms, again
