KENTUCKY IN THE RAIN
By: Dixie Hall (BMI)

VERSE 1: DRIVING THROUGH KENTUCKY AS THE RAIN COMES FALLING DOWN
LITTLE WINDING HIGHWAY THROUGH A LITTLE COUNTRY TOWN
EXCEPT FOR SOME OLD SHADOWS AND SOME FADED, PEELING PAINT
YOU JUST CAN'T HELP BUT NOTICE THAT MOST EVERYTHING HAD CHANGED

CHORUS: KENTUCKY IN THE RAIN
WHERE THE MEMORIES APPEAR
OF SOME LONG FORGOTTEN PAIN
LIKE EVAPORATED TEARS
DID I TAKE A BEATEN PATH
WHEN I HAD IT ALL TO GAIN
WELL IT ALL COMES RUSHING BACK
IN KENTUCKY IN THE RAIN

VERSE 2: I DON'T THINK THE GRASS IS QUITE AS GREEN AS I RECALL
I MUST BE WRONG BUT I DON'T THINK THE HILLS ARE QUITE AS TALL
THE PAST IS NOW A MEMORY THE FUTURE ISN'T CLEAR
BUT RAIN FALLS IN KENTUCKY AND IT COULD BE ANYWHERE

VERSE 3: I KNOW IT WAS A YESTERDAY A DREAM OR TWO AGO
LOOKING FOR A QUESTION OR AN ANSWER I DON'T KNOW
THE INTERSTATE'S NOT FAR AWAY WITH SIX OR SEVEN LANES
AND I'M HERE ON THE BACKROADS IN KENTUCKY IN THE RAIN
