[Verse 1]
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 going 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

[Verse 2]
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 nothing to lose
Like St. Louis
I've got the blues

[Chorus]

[Bridge]
Minneapolis through Saint Paul
The pain's the same and that ain't all
I'm heading north where my lover calls
I'm not going down like Niagara Falls

[Verse]
I've got to do what's best for me
That's finding you
I'll travel on near or far
Until I find
The place you are

[Chorus]
Yes, Virginia there's a world to see
But without you where can it be?
I'm going 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

Best known as the drummer for The Beatles, Ringo Starr (born Richard Starkey, 1940) also had a moderately successful solo career (with hits like “It Don’t Come Easy” and “Photograph”) and was the narrator for Thomas The Tank Engine.

His country-infused nickname emerged from a tendency to wear rings on his fingers.
