I grew up in Wichita
In a Mayberry kind of town
He never liked overalls
Or hauled a hay till sundown
He said he dreamed about L.A.
As he plowed away the day
On an old John Lee
I said, boy, let me warn you
In Southern California
There's some fast trains here
You're not in Kansas City, boy
Can't be too careful
That's for sure
City lights will keep you warm
Morning comes and they'll be gone
So write my number on your wall
And call me anytime at all
I'm so happy now
You're not in Kansas City, boy
Said, do you know where Carson is?
So we drove up to Malibu
Cruising down Sunset Street
Oh, I let him steal a kiss or two
Under the Hollywood sign
I tried to hide a smile
As I whispered, love
I want to be the first to tell you
Here's my love for you
Here we say good day
You're not in Rodeo
You're not in Kansas City, boy
Can't be too careful
That's for sure
City lights will keep you warm
Morning comes and they'll be gone
So write my number on your wall
And call me anytime at all
I'm so happy now
You're not in Kansas City, boy
I'm so happy now
You're not in Kansas City, boy
