[Verse 1]
A
Kansas City with a friend of mine
   D                      G
We loved the women and we had a good time
A                                 E
Then the trouble started with the gun
A
Kansas City with a friend of mine
   D                         G
We drank some whiskey and we really felt fine
A               E              A
Then we started leaving on the run.

[Pre-Chorus]
A
Hey Ho Yippeeiayay

[Verse 2]
A
Kansas City with a friend of mine
   D                         G
We loved for a dollar and we drank for a dime
A                             E
Now I'm headin' down to Santa Fe
A
Kansas City with a friend of mine
   D                    G
We left too late cut it mighty fine
A
Texas seemed the safest place to be.

Now I'm headin' straight through Tennessee
