Kansas i/ˈkænzəs/ is a U.S. state located in the Midwestern United States. It is named after the Kansa Native American tribe, which inhabited the area. The tribe's name (natively kką:ze) is often said to mean "people of the wind" or "people of the south wind", although this was probably not the term's original meaning. Residents of Kansas are called "Kansans". For thousands of years, what is now Kansas was home to numerous and diverse Native American tribes. Tribes in the eastern part of the state generally lived in villages along the river valleys. Tribes in the western part of the state were semi-nomadic and hunted large herds of bison. Kansas was first settled by European Americans in the 1830s, but the pace of settlement accelerated in the 1850s, in the midst of political wars over the slavery issue.
When it was officially opened to settlement by the U.S. government in 1854, abolitionist Free-Staters from New England and pro-slavery settlers from neighboring Missouri rushed to the territory to determine whether Kansas would become a free state or a slave state. Thus, the area was a hotbed of violence and chaos in its early days as these forces collided, and was known as Bleeding Kansas. The abolitionists eventually prevailed, and on January 29, 1861, Kansas entered the Union as a free state. After the Civil War, the population of Kansas grew rapidly when waves of immigrants turned the prairie into farmland. Today, Kansas is one of the most productive agricultural states, producing high yields of wheat, corn, sorghum, and soybeans. Kansas is the 15th most extensive and the 34th most populous of the 50 United States.
Kansas is an American rock band that became popular in the 1970s initially on album-oriented rock charts and later with hit singles such as "Carry On Wayward Son" and "Dust in the Wind". The band has produced eight gold albums, three sextuple-platinum albums (Leftoverture, Point of Know Return, The Best of Kansas), one platinum live album (Two for the Show) and a million-selling single, "Dust in the Wind". Kansas appeared on the Billboard charts for over 200 weeks throughout the 1970s and 1980s and played to sold-out arenas and stadiums throughout North America, Europe and Japan. "Carry On Wayward Son" was the second-most-played track on classic rock radio in 1995 and No. 1 in 1997.
In 1969, Lynn Meredith, Don Montre, Dan Wright and Kerry Livgren (guitars, keyboards, synthesizers) were performing in a band called The Reasons Why in their hometown of Topeka, Kansas. After changing the band's name to Saratoga, they started playing Livgren's original material with Scott Kessler playing bass and Zeke Lowe on drums.
Kansas is a census-designated place in northwestern Liberty Township, Seneca County, Ohio, United States. Although it is unincorporated, it has a post office, with the ZIP code of 44841. It is located along State Route 635.
Kansas was platted in early 1855 along a line of the Lake Erie and Louisville Railroad. A short distance south of the community on State Route 635 is the Michaels Farm, which has been named a historic site.

Genres: Western,Step outside and feel the tingle
Trouble finds you every night
You wonder where nobody knows you
Your civil tone is not polite
You got no friends, you don't like people
You tried it once and they let you down
And after seven years you're still hurt and angry
And inside your head is an awful sound
Some say that trouble is my middle name
I find it very easy and I give out just the same
You don't want to mess with me
So stay out of trouble, don't cry
Stay out of trouble, you'll die
You're on the street the clock strikes 11
And it takes that seven years away
Now you're walking with that lovely lady
Just like that you can hear her say
"Well, I know for sure you ain't got the money
For an ounce of coke or a Cadillac"
I said, "It ain't no use in trying to fool me
A big woman like you has got to fight back"
Some say that trouble is my middle name
I find it very easy and I give out just the same
You don't want to mess with me
So stay out of trouble, don't cry
Stay out of trouble, you'll die, you'll die
You stay out of trouble, don't cry
Stay out of trouble, you'll die
Inside your head it sounds like thunder
And your room becomes an ugly shell
You get your car and you start the engine
And you drive with your right foot in hell
Well someone said, "Ain't that funny
Well I saw that boy just the other night
Went into this bar and really got rowdy
With his friends and him in an awful fight"
Some say that trouble is my middle name
I find it very easy and I give out just the same
You don't want to mess with me
So stay out of trouble, don't cry
Stay out of trouble, you'll die, you'll die
You stay out of trouble, don't cry
Stay out of trouble, you'll die, you'll die, you'll die
