TRIP TO KENTUCKY (Terry Comer & The Best In Town)

VERSE 1: I DON'T KNOW WHAT IT IS ABOUT KENTUCKY
COULD BE IN THE WATER OR THE TREES
WHATEVER KEEPS ON BRINGIN' US TOGETHER
IS DEEPER THAN THE MYSTERY OF THE SEA

VERSE 2 THE DUSTY ROAD THAT SEEMS TO LEAD TO NOWHERE
A MORNING LIKE AN OLD BLACKBERRY BRIER
A CHURCH HOUSE WHERE THE PAINT PEELS IN THE SUNSHINE
THE SMELL OF WOODSMOKE HANGIN' IN THE AIR

CHORUS I DON'T KNOW WHAT IT IS ABOUT KENTUCKY
THERES GOOD AND BAD IN EVERY MEMORY
THERE AIN'T NO GOLD IN THEM THERE HILLS
AND THE COAL IS ALMOST GONE
BUT BLOOD IS BLOOD AND DIRT IS DIRT
AND HOME IS HOME FOR WHAT IT'S WORTH
I'M HEADED TO KENTUCKY JUST TO SEE WHAT I CAN SEE

VERSE 3 I WONDER IF THEY'LL KNOW ME WHEN THEY SEE ME
AND PEOPLE RECOGNIZE THEIR MEMORIES
YOU JUST CAN'T PUT YOUR FINGER ON THE THINGS THAT NEVER CHANGE
WHEN I CAN'T GO TO KENTUCKY, THEN KENTUCKY COMES TO ME

REPEAT CHORUS
