Is it a sin
To live without
To look within?
I didn't know
Which way to turn
He had to go
And so I've learned

And now forever and a day
I will wait
In that Show-Me-State

[Chorus]
Yes, Virginia
There' a world to see
But without you
Where can it be?
I'm goin' to Kansas City
But that's just me
On a Greyhound bus
From Tennessee

No need to worry
I ain't in no hurry
Missouri loves company

Down a country lane
I leave behind
A little pain
And as I cross
The county line
And every state
In my mind

I've got nothin' to lose
Like St. Louis
I've got the blues

[Chorus]

No need to worry
I ain't in no hurry
Missouri loves company

Minneapolis through Saint Paul
The pain's the same and that ain't all
I'm headin' north where my lover calls
I'm not goin' down like Niagara Falls

I've got to do
What's best for me
That s finding you
I'll travel on
Near or far
Till I find
The place you are

Yes, Virginia there's a world to see
But without you where can it be?
I'm goin' to Kansas City
But that's just me
All the way from Graceland Tennessee
There's no need to worry
I ain't in no hurry
Missouri loves company
