Dorothy
[Verse 1]
Livin' in Kansas, a life alone
She never married, she’s hardly known
She stares out her window far away
Lookin' for another windy day
[Chorus]
Dorothy was a fool to leave
She could have stayed
She held it right in her hand
She had it made
She could have had it all for keeps
But was afraid
She could have stayed
[Verse 2]
Seems like only yesterday
But forty years have up and slipped away
Since a lovely, black-haired girl
Was taken from her one and only world
[Chorus]
Dorothy was a fool to leave
She could have stayed
She held it right in her hand
She had it made
She could have had it all for keeps
But was afraid
She could have stayed
[Bridge]
Same ol' bluebirds flyin’ high
Over rainbows in the Kansas sky
Why, oh, why
Oh, why?
[Verse 3]
I guess it only serves her right
For trading all that color for black and white
All her sorrow, all because
There ain't no way to stand Kansas when you, you've been to Oz
[Chorus]
Dorothy was a fool to leave
She could have stayed
She held it right in her hand
She had it made
She could have had it all for keeps
But was afraid
She could have stayed
[Outro]
She could have stayed
She could have stayed
