Kentucky

The night before your wedding,

I dreamed what I would say,

I'd beg you for forgiveness,

For all the mess I've made.

I dreamed that you were gracious,

I dreamed you wished me well,

I dreamed that you were vicious,

You damned me straihgt to hell.

CHORUS

But, oh, sweet Kentucky

No matter where I land

I was just a boy for you

And he will be your man.

I was just a boy for you

And he will be your man.

I'd tell you that I'm lonely,

And fame has let me down,

Living like a stranger,

Traveling town to town.

And all my aspirations,

Don't amount to much,

The wine and the women,

Are such a shameful crutch.

CHORUS

I know you will be happy,

And I'll be in the band,

Cause I was just a boy for you,

and he will be your man.

And I was just a boy for you,

He will be your man...
