Kara


Minneapolis to Tomah
She had a sparkle in her eye
But it wasn’t her Kara twinkle
She was trying hard not to cry

Madison to Milwaukee
Working to let it go
The sun was already setting
On her twilight hours show

Kara
Oh Kara
How far will you roam?

It takes 31 hours by bus
To get from rock and roll
To home

She had saved up all her money
She had saved up all her time
She dragged along her brother Eddie
Her partner in crime

They had just two days to fly out west
To see her cherished band
But a fateful call ruined it all
So the bus was all they had



Kara
Oh Kara
How far will you roam?

It takes 31 hours by bus
To get from rock and roll
To home

Kara
Oh Kara
How far will you roam?

It takes 31 hours by bus
To get from rock and roll
To home

Chicago to Toledo
Dark night on that greyhound
She tried to rock herself to sleep
Singing “Will You Be Found?”

Cleveland to Youngstown
She drifted back to 91
Eddie took his little sister along
The obsession had begun





Trip Shakespeare changed young Kara
They stole her heart in just one night
Then they broke their band to bits
Sending Kara in flight

She’s been chasing every piece of that band
No matter how far apart they get
Between Pittsburgh and Philadelphia
She knew she wasn’t done chasing yet

Kara
Oh Kara
How far will you roam?

It takes 31 hours by bus
To get from rock and roll
To home

Kara
Oh Kara
How far will you roam?

It takes 31 hours by bus
To get from rock and roll
To home
