What I Want This To Accomplish

I love music. I love all kinds of music. I love a good melody and I love good lyrics. Here's the thing. Too often I have noticed people getting lost in the melodic side of a song and never listen to the lyrics, the message that the songwriter is trying to share with the listener. Words mean things and there are a lot of songs out there with great lyrics. Here you will find love and hurt, pain and longing, emotions and intimate thoughts from songwriters over the years. There will be no commentary from me on the lyrics. Just the words. The words for you to read, process and ponder and hopefully come away with a little more meaning to a song than just a lovely melody. A more complete understanding of where the artist is coming from. - Bill Clark

KANSAS YOU FOOLER

With a sky of blue
And a cold ground
And a windmill stalled in mid-air
We head across Kansas
On our way home
Colorado, thank you, goodbye

Kansas, you fooler,
You're makin' me smile
'Cause I've never seen you this way before
You sure do look better
When it's this way we're headed
Home sure will feel good to me

But I'm lookin' farther to the girl at my door
With a smile I'm waitin' to see
She makes me feel better
The instant I'm there
I forget about all of my cares
I forget that I'm even there

Kansas, you fooler,
You're makin' me smile
'Cause I've never seen you this way before
You sure do look better
When it's this way we're headed
Home sure will feel good to me

The road's OK,
If you like to play
Your music can let you have a good time
I like to stay home
And take time to grow
So it all can make a pleasant cycle
