Wow there is a song about Manhattan Kansas. I live about 30 miles away from there, and it's really no place to write a song about. Next they'll write a song about Topeka, oh wait...
My Mom had the original Happiest Girl In The Whole USA 8-track and I knew (and still know) all the songs by heart. I wish I could find that album, but I think its out of print. It had this song, 'Johnny B Goode' 'Funny Face''How Close You Came (To Being Gone) 'Society's Got Us' 'It Wouldve Been Just Perfect' 'Daddy Dumplin' and others on it.
LOL Manhattan Kansas is one of the most educated, liberal and accepting towns (except for maybe Lawrence...hehehe) in the state, maybe the midwest. She should have name that song Provo, Utah!
@gamediva2112 - So why are you so defensive?? Get over it ! It isn't about EVERYBODY in Manhattan, Kansas. It's about her 'personal support group' or to be more accurate the "Lack there-of" said support group. Chill and LISTEN to the lyrics CAREFULLY and with an OPEN mind. To bad jumping to conclusions isn't an Olympic event... you could be a gold medalist!
