I was one line in a diary in Kansas 
She was a theme in my serious heart 
We had sex in Detroit, rave reviews in Boston on the road to Pittsburgh closing 
night in Dallas 
Then we said goodbye 

I send echoes cross state lines 
Chocolates by wire 
Telegrams by the hour 

Meet me in the middle of the U.S. of ache 

There must be a town in the middle of America 
Where we can meet and start again 
I guess she wants to keep me her secret 
And I just want to give my secret away 

I send echoes cross state lines 
Chocolates by wire 
Telegrams by the hour 

Meet me in the middle of the U.S. of ache 

I can't get to Florida 
Without driving through Kansas 
Cigarettes and motor oil 
I know she's never been to heaven 
And I sure as hell can't fine her here on earth 

I send echoes cross state lines 
Chocolates by wire 
Telegrams by the hour 

Meet me in the middle of the U.S. of ache
