I think half of this song is about happiness,or really just searching for happiness. "Move to Kansas City ,pretty- baby, where the skies are so blue..." To me I see that as a pursuit of happiness. Finding your soul-mate" could be seen as the pretty- baby bit. Kansas city could be finding the place you finally choose to settle down in and live out your life. "Skies so blue," I definitely see that as living out the rest of your days in happiness and joy.
Now- the "never let a woman tell you she loves you.." bit,. that's tricky. It really seems to defeat that idea of happiness that I put forth... It seems that the woman searching for cocaine is the same girl that is leaving on that airplane. I guess the girl seems to leave the guy since she "can walk on two feet now, she can go where she wants.." She leaves the man in search of her own happiness. She was the man's happiness, where as he was not. Maybe when she was with this man, she was addicted to cocaine and lived the life of an addict. She wasn't happy with her life and moved on to Kansas City; she found her happiness eventually. She made the effort to live a healthy and happy life, something that many woman do not seem to be capable of. She doesn't need this guy.
This song is easily my favorite song of all time. The lyrics are so well written as to relate to many situations. This song has touched upon many aspects/situations in my life over the past year. I recently fell in love, being the most recent. I was Kansas City for her, not to seem vain, I honestly was. The man she had before would beat and verbally abuse her. She left me to go back to him. "Never let a women tell you she loves you...."
