๐ Lyrics
Tears are falling tonight as the pen runs dry
The train is calling the big Missouri goodbye
Seventeen and tired of crying
Doesn't drive, scared of flying
California feels so far away today
From the great state of misery
Suitcase packed, she sits and waits on a train
Filled with dreams this town could never contain
Seventeen in high heel shoes
She's got the mean St. Louis blues
Bought herself a ticket to L.A. one way
From the great state of misery
The great state of misery
Picture pretty but so familiar with pain
Through sad city bars, a whistling band
Seventeen, a broken beauty
Wounded in the line of duty
Happiness is just a step away today
From the great state of misery
The great state of misery
Seventeen, a broken beauty
Wounded in the line of duty
Wonder if she'll ever get away someday
From the great state of misery
The great state of misery
From the great state of misery
The train is calling the big Missouri goodbye
Seventeen and tired of crying
Doesn't drive, scared of flying
California feels so far away today
From the great state of misery
Suitcase packed, she sits and waits on a train
Filled with dreams this town could never contain
Seventeen in high heel shoes
She's got the mean St. Louis blues
Bought herself a ticket to L.A. one way
From the great state of misery
The great state of misery
Picture pretty but so familiar with pain
Through sad city bars, a whistling band
Seventeen, a broken beauty
Wounded in the line of duty
Happiness is just a step away today
From the great state of misery
The great state of misery
Seventeen, a broken beauty
Wounded in the line of duty
Wonder if she'll ever get away someday
From the great state of misery
The great state of misery
From the great state of misery
