Kentucky

Won't forget the first time that I saw him
I overheard somebody say Kentucky was his name
He just stood there unconcerned and sang though the angels were all listenin'
Now I was passin' through on my way for some long forgotten place
I only planned to got away a lost and lonely Texas winter evening
But I found myself a wishin' I could stay and listen to Kentucky sing
Won't you sing that song again Kentucky
Don't you mind I sing along with you
And I'll be on my way again Kentucky
Everytime I hear that song I get to think of you
Everything has changed since that Texas winter nights a long ago
The dreams that I was dreamin' there finally become reality
Now we just go from town to town and we laugh and sing every song we know
Life was good to me and my Kentucky
So let's sing that song again Kentucky
Let's sing it loud Kentucky I love you
And I'll never go away from you Kentucky
Everytime I hear that song I get to reach and touch you
