JACKIE DESHANNON

- Dorothy Lyrics

Livin' 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

But was afraid

She could have stayed

It seems like only yesterday

But 40 years have up and slipped away

Since a lovely, black-haired girl

Was taken for her one and only whirl

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 bluebird flyin' 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
