Kentucky
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
It's so goddamn reverent
Everything's purpose is fickle to me
It's so goddamn hard to forget
Here we go Kentucky, you're leaving me again
Shame, it's a shame, it's a shame, it's a shame
Southern skies leaving on the hills of a train
Here we go Kentucky, your wide eyes roll me down
Feeling pretty lucky you're keeping me around
Picking lipstick flakes off of my shirt
Licked up bone bags left in the dirt
Sweet tea drinkers, farm for the worst
Singing like a kick drum, blessed with the curse
Singing like a kick drum, blessed with the curse
Singing like a kick drum, blessed with the curse
Singing like a kick drum, blessed with the curse
Singing like a kick drum, blessed with the curse
It's not as strange as it seems
We're just walking, a pace the seams
Aptitude high, you know it so well
Faking drowning, going to hell
I'm so goddamn tired (I'm so goddamn tired)
I'm so goddamn tired (I'm so goddamn tired)
I'm so goddamn tired (I'm so goddamn tired)
I'm so goddamn tired (I'm so goddamn tired)
Shame, it's a shame, it's a shame, it's a shame
Shame, it's a shame, it's a shame, it's a shame
Here we go, Kentucky
Feeling pretty lucky
