Old Kentucky

I fell in love once

I just couldn’t stay clean

Her beat up blue eyes

Couldn’t trust anything

Cute like a hippie

Come in smellin’ like pot

Sometimes a little

Sometimes a whole lot

I laughed cause I knew

I fell in love once

She caught me off guard

On the back of a blunt

In old Kentucky

The bathrooms are blue to hide from your veins

Those beat up blue eyes

Couldn’t handle the night

I heard from her streets

“Don’t you trust anything.”

I had my chance once

To run far from home

That little town blues

Got ahold of my soul

Cute like a curse

Comin’ in like the weather

Well, I never could stomach

The words - home forever

I laughed cause I knew

I had my chance once

To stay or to leave

Felt like loading a gun

In old Kentucky

The bathrooms are blue to hide from your veins

Those beat up blue eyes

They could not handle the night

I heard from her streets

“Don’t you trust anything.”

Well, I’ve been there once

Think I’ll be there again

There’s a gear in my clock

Always giving me the spins

Born in the backwoods

Distilled in Kentucky

They’ll legalize anything

If you show them the money

I laughed cause I knew

I’ll be there again

There is something inside me

Just waiting for it

In old Kentucky

The bathrooms are blue

To hide from your veins

Those beat up blue eyes

Couldn’t handle the night

I heard from her streets

“Don’t you trust anything.”

In old Kentucky

The sidewalks, they’d crack at the sight of the sin

I’m just passing on through

Where the bathrooms are blue

I heard from her streets

“Don’t you trust anything.”
