Up North

In spite of the name, independence, kansas
Didn't grow many wild roses
But she was young and restless
And i loved her though holding her down was hopeless
I wanted her to say she couldn't live without
The life i had to offer but all she could talk about
Was faraway dreams, cities she'd never seen
How do i find that girl when she could be
Out there anywhere she just up and left
She didn't leave a forwarding address
Or a trail for my lonely heart to follow
Which one of those four winds should i go chasing
She could be in a million places i guess
Up north, down south, back east, out west
She could be up in the windy city
Where the world spins a little bit faster
Or gettin' a tan down in miami that might be where i'd catch her
Maybe back in virginia, her cousin lives there
Out in arizona, she'd fit in anywhere
It's anyone's guess where she came to rest
My one chance for happiness is
Out there anywhere she just up and left
She didn't leave a forwarding address
Or a trail for my lonely heart to follow
Which one of those four winds should i go chasing
She could be in a million places i guess
Up north, down south, back east, out west
I'm sitting here at a four-way intersection
Praying lord won't you point me in the right direction
She could be
Out there anywhere she just up and left
She didn't leave a forwarding address
Or a trail for my lonely heart to follow
Which one of those four winds should i go chasing
She could be in a million places i guess
Up north, down south, back east, out west
Up north, down south, back east, out west
