Gone To Kentucky

GONE TO KENTUCKY
BOLLS, JOHNSON
THE GIRL DONE LEFT SHE’S GONE TO KENTUCKY
SHE’S HEADED OUT ON A ONE WAY TRACK
FOOL-HEARTED MAN THOUGHT SHE’D NEVER LEAVE
BUT SHE’S GONE TO KENTUCKY AND SHE AIN’T COMIN’ BACK
WELL SHE GAVE A LOT AND HE GAVE A LITTLE
HE RAN AROUND EVERY SATURDAY NIGHT
SHE GOT TIRED OF PLAYIN’ SECOND FIDDLE
HE WENT ON THINKIN’ EVERYTHINGS FINE
BUT SHE’S GETTING OUT AND SHE’S GETTING OUT FAST TO A PLACE WHERE THE ONLY THING BLUE IS THE GRASS
THE GIRL DONE LEFT SHE’S GONE TO KENTUCKY
SHE’S HEADED OUT ON A ONE WAY TRACK
THE FOOL-HEARTED MAN THOUGHT SHE’D NEVER LEAVE BUT SHE’S GONE TO KENTUCKY AND SHE AIN’T COMIN’ BACK
YOU’D THINK THAT SHE’D BE CRYIN’ NOW
WELL MAYBE HER EYES ARE ALL CRIED OUT
‘CAUSE OH, THAT GIRL IS SMILIN’ NOW
JUST THINKIN’ WHAT HE’LL THINK WHEN HE FINDS OUT
THE GIRL DONE LEFT SHE’S GONE TO KENTUCKY
SHE’S HEADED OUT ON A ONE WAY TRACK
THE FOOL-HEARTED MAN THOUGHT SHE’D NEVER LEAVE BUT SHE’S GONE TO KENTUCKY AND SHE AIN’T COMIN’ BACK
HE CAME HOME WENT STRAIGHT INTO THE KITCHEN
HE FOUND A NOTE AND HIS SUPPER ON A PLATE
A FLAT GLASS OF COKE AND A COLD PIECE OF CHICKEN THE NOTE SAID, “THAT’S THE LAST DINNER I’LL MAKE” SHE’S GETTING OUT AND SHE’S GETTING OUT FAST
TO A PLACE WHERE THE ONLY THING BLUE IS THE GRASS
THE GIRL DONE LEFT SHE’S GONE TO KENTUCKY
SHE’S HEADED OUT ON A ONE WAY TRACK
THE FOOL-HEARTED MAN THOUGHT SHE’D NEVER LEAVE BUT SHE’S GONE TO KENTUCKY AND SHE AIN’T COMIN’ BACK
OH SHE AIN’T COMING BACK YOU FOOL HEARTED MAN SHE AIN’T COMING BACK
SHE’S GONE TO KENTUCKY...
