I'm gonna drive down to Kansas City
A friend there wants to film me for a show
She says she has the aperture, a wide-angle lens
And she heard about me from a girl we both know
She heard about me from a girl we both know
Who told her my love left her rose bush aglow
And she'd heard about me from a girl I once kissed
Who told her I knew things the other boys missed
I'm gonna go up Chicago by the lake
Learn how to play the blues in the snow
She said my fingers play a tune like no other
And she heard about me from a girl we both know
(chorus)
I'm gonna go down to old St. Louis
Where the waitress is a hot meal to go
She whispered "I'm sure you'll be good out of bed"
She found out about me from a girl we both know
(chorus)
(not singing)
She told her I did things the other boys missed
But now I'm gonna drive back to Kansas City
Gonna come as the lead in a hundred new shows
She says I'm a star if I can do it right now
She found out about me from a girl we both know
(chorus)
She told her I did things that still make her twist
