Down at the train they go to Independence everyday
But anywhere else now seems like a million miles away
And I must have been high to believe that I would ever leave

Now I'm just a flat fine line like the Wichita skyline

I rode on the airstream across the great lonesome afternoon

I wished hard enough to hurt, drove fast enough to catch the moon
But I must have been dreaming again 'cause there's nothing around the bend
Except for that flat fine line, the Wichita skyline


As far as Salina I can get that good station from LaRue
I'm searching the dial while I'm scanning the sky for a patch of blue

And I watch the black clouds roll in chasing me back again
Back to the flat fine line, the Wichita skyline
