about

This song came about through my love for the third weekend in September. Back in 2000, when I first started playing guitar, I was introduced to Winfield, Kansas (Walnut Valley Festival). It takes place every September and I have been addicted. So much so, you can find me camping for three or more weeks some years. This song speaks to my love for the festival and all the wonderful people who attend to enjoy roots music.

lyrics

We met in that old boat house in the narrows by the pine,
you sang of me a love song, and I knew that you were mine
But fate would have it tangled, and a twisted as could be,
the stars were meant for gazing, You and I for gravity
I will find another lover underneath the Tennessee sky
but tonight oh sweet darling it’s Kansas on my mind
We fall into a moment, the cool breeze and the grass,
hanging on for dear life even though time will pass
So it’s been a gamble and to the epic I’ve been blind
‘neath the moon, the stars, and whiskey, it’s Kansas on my mind
I will find another lover underneath the Tennessee sky
but tonight oh sweet darling it’s Kansas on my mind
and I hope you remember all the things you promised me
And I hope that you keep me even if it’s just in Tennessee
Oooohh–ooohhh…….
