SOMEWHERE IN KENTUCKY TONIGHT

VERSE 1: SOMEWHERE IN KENTUCKY THERE'S A WEATHER-BEATEN HOUSE
ON A DUSTY ROAD THAT LEADS BACK IN THE HILLS
WHERE FATHER AND DEAR MOTHER STILL WAIT FOR MY RETURN
WHILE I'M UP HERE IN OHIO IN THE MILLS

CHORUS: SOMEWHERE IN KENTUCKY TONIGHT
THAT OLD BLUE MOON IS SENDING DOWN IT'S LIGHT
ALL I EVER NEEDED IS WAITING THERE FOR ME
SOMEWHERE IN KENTUCKY TONIGHT

VERSE 2: SOMEWHERE IN KENTUCKY THERE'S A LITTLE WOODEN CHURCH
IT'S NESTLED IN A CLEARING IN THE TREES
A WHITE HAIRED PREACHER TALKS ABOUT THE LOST AND WANDERING SOULS
AND I KNOW HE MUST BE THINKING ABOUT ME

REPEAT CHORUS

VERSE 3: SOMEWHERE IN KENTUCKY THERE'S A GIRL WHO WALKS ALONE
WHERE WE ONCE WALKED TOGETHER LONG AGO
I PROMISED I WOULD LOVE HER AND SHE SAID SHE WOULD BE TRUE
TIL OUR NAMES ARE CARVED TOGETHER ON A STONE

REPEAT CHORUS
