Hope and pray and wait for her to call
Things to do in Wichita
I've got things to do in Wichita
Watch reruns of a known all afternoon
Hope and pray and wait for her to call
Leave another message at her moms
I really have, hit redial on the phone
Reading from that book in my nightstand
Say a prayer that tomorrow she might call
Around sundown, now that's when things get tough
Find the words to let her know that I've changed
Then take that lonely walk back to the room
Find a way to bring her back
Find a way to bring her back
Gotta work to keep my strength and courage up
Kill the lights and lay here all alone
Things to do in Wichita
So many things, I can't count 'em all
Tell her baby you were right and I was wrong
I've got things to do in Wichita
She'd be proud to know I ain't set foot in there
Find the words to let her know that I've changed
'Cause there's a happy hour in the bar downstairs
Spend my nights trying to be a better man
Read USA Today front to back
Tell her baby you were right and I was wrong
Tell myself to just stay strong
Kill most of the morning doing that
I really have, hit redial on the phone
So many things, I can't count 'em all
Leave another message at her moms
