I know I'm just a country girl I hadn't seen much of the world |
| [00:14.60] |
Today my bus pulled out of old Kentucky |
| [00:17.84] |
|
| [00:19.15] |
My daddy waved and mama cried and I felt all choked up inside |
| [00:22.96] |
Cause I was leavin' everyone that loved me. |
| [00:26.33] |
|
| [00:28.15] |
The first I saw of city ways went against how I was raised |
| [00:32.69] |
This country girl was really out of place |
| [00:35.31] |
|
| [00:36.68] |
And I was set to go back home but I was broke and all alone |
| [00:41.43] |
And I couldn't find another friendly face. |
| [00:44.36] |
|
| [00:45.87] |
But I didn't have the bus fare to Kentucky |
| [00:50.42] |
Or this city would have seen the last of me |
| [00:53.41] |
|
| [00:54.78] |
I didn't have the bus fare to Kentucky |
| [00:57.97] |
|
| [00:59.16] |
And that old Grey Dog won't let me ride for free. |
| [01:02.52] |
|
| [01:08.52] |
I met a boy from Tennessee and I guess he reminded me |
| [01:12.76] |
Of someone that I knew in old Kentucky |
| [01:16.12] |
|
| [01:17.43] |
It was good to have a friend and it was good to laugh with him |
| [01:21.86] |
And it was good to hear him say he loved me. |
| [01:25.36] |
|
| [01:26.48] |
I never thought he'd do me wrong so I gladly went along |
| [01:30.66] |
I loved him more than any man I've known |
| [01:34.94] |
|
| [01:35.51] |
And after he had all his fun he told me that our love was done |
| [01:39.75] |
And then he left this country girl alone. |
| [01:43.43] |
|
| [01:44.24] |
I didn't have the bus fare to Kentucky |
| [01:48.13] |
|
| [01:48.69] |
Or this city would have seen the last of me |
| [01:51.81] |
|
| [01:53.18] |
I didn't have the bus fare to Kentucky |
| [01:56.24] |
|
| [01:57.55] |
And that old Grey Dog won't let me ride for free. |
| [02:01.05] |
|
| [02:02.48] |
I can't afford to go first class so I'll make it the best I can |
| [02:07.35] |
Anything to get my feet on that good Kentucky land |
| [02:10.59] |
|
| [02:11.15] |
My thumb is in the air and my suitcase by my side |
| [02:15.90] |
Won't somebody give this poor old country girl a ride. |
| [02:20.02] |
Kentucky I'm a comin' home I'll never leave you anymore |
| [02:25.88] |
|
| [02:27.38] |
Kentucky I don't know why I ever strayed |
| [02:33.31] |
|
| [02:34.68] |
Kentucky your bluegrass bridges and your valleys call to me |
| [02:41.05] |
|
| [02:42.36] |
Kentucky I'm comin' home to stay |
| [02:47.92] |
|
| [02:49.23] |
Kentucky I'm a comin' home I'll never leave you anymore... |
