My Heart Has A Mind Of Its Own
A lifeless figure full of desire.
We do nothing as she expires.
We do nothing as she expires.
The rules are set.
Curse the liar.
Victimization of another.
A hopeful breath that will be smothered.
Fear meets desperation as she walks alone.
Undeserving of this fate that's been cast into stone.
Sexual Violence destroys silently.
Sexual Violence kills violently.
Beauty is not shown on a movie screen.
Self-worth is not depicted in a magazine.
You (WE) are worth so much more.
You (WE) have so much to give.
Inside is where
Husbands And Wives
Kansas City Star
Artist: Roger Miller (peak Billboard position # 31 in 1965)
Words and Music by Roger Miller
Got a letter just this mornin’ it was postmarked Omaha
It was typed and neatly written offerin’ me this better job
Better job at higher wages, expenses paid and a car
But I’m on TV here locally and I can’t quit, I’m a star
Hah-ha I come on TV grinnin,’ wearin’ pistols and a hat
It’s a kiddy show and I’m a hero of the younger set
I’m the number one attraction every supermarket parkin’ lot
I’m the king of Kansas City, no thanks, Omaha, thanks a lot
CHORUS:
Kansas City star, that’s what I are
Yodel-deedle ay-hee, you oughta see my car
I drive a big old Cadillac with wire wheels, got rhinestones on the spokes
I got credit down at the grocery store
And my barber tells me jokes
I’m the number one attraction every supermarket parkin’ lot
I’m the king of Kansas City, no thanks, Omaha, thanks a lot
CHORUS
SPOKEN: Stay tuned, gonna have a Popeye cartoon in a minute
