Living in Kansas A life alone She never married She's hardly known She stares out the window far away Looking for another windy day Dorothy was a fool to leave She could have stayed She held it right in her hands She had it made She could have had it all for keeps She was afraid She could have stayed It seems like only yesterday But forty years have up and slipped away Since a lovely black haired girl Was taken from her one and only world Dorothy was a fool to leave She could have stayed She held it right in her hands She had it made She could have had it all for keeps But was afraid She could have stayed Same old bluebirds flying high Over rainbows in the Kansas sky Why oh why Oh why I guess it only serves her right For trading all that color for black and white All her sorrow All because There ain't no way to stand Kansas When you've been to Oz Dorothy was a fool to leave She could have stayed She held it right in her hands She had it made She could have had it all for keeps But was afraid She could have stayed She could have stayed She could have stayed
