Kansas Sky Rising - Wayne Wedin and the Long Haul
Capo 1st Fret
Verse 1
DI thought I had the map all drawn in ink
BmFront porch dreams and a steady routine
AFifteen years in a picture frame
GThen one hard week and it all changed
BmTraded sand for Kansas wind
From desert dust to these plains again
AScars on my back and belly still
But they only prove I’ve got the will
Pre-Chorus
AYeah life don’t move the way you plan
Sometimes it slips right through your handGs
Chorus
But I’m Kansas sky Drising, wide open blue
Stars Afinally lining like they’re meant to do
From a Bmwar-torn road to a hometown stage
Hear thatA Firefly calling out my name
Got a new bandD playing like we’ve got something to prove
Old Aghosts gone, nothing left to lose
Yeah I tGhought I knew where my life would go
Turns outA this wind’s been pushing me home
GKansas sky risingA… here I gDo
Verse 2
DFirst time I heard it on the FM dial
Pulled off I-70, sat there a while
BmStatic cleared and there it was
Little flicker of hope in the speaker buzz
ASome walked off when the road got slow
Said it wasn’t gonna go nowhere, no
GBut the right ones showed up, locked in tight
Now the wheels are turning and the timing’s right
Pre-Chorus
AYou can bend but you don’t break
Sometimes the fall’s what clears the weight
Bridge
Yeah I miss what I thought we’d be
But that empty chair ain’t holding me
Got my kid in the crowd and a mic in hand
And a brand-new chapter with this band
Final Chorus (Lift)
DKansas sky rising, hands up high
FAorty-eight and still on fire
FrBmom battle lines to headline lights
Every Gsetback set it right
This neDw road, this new sound
Hear that Acrowd singing it loud
Thought I Bmhad it all mapped out
Look at where I’m standing nAow
GKansas sky risingA… can’t slow me dowDn
