"Kentucky Too Long" lyrics

"Kentucky Too Long"

Been in Kentucky too long
I done come here from Arkansas
Ain't runnin' from no Johnny Law
Please believe me

I ain't in Kentucky for my health
I done came here for somethin' else
Everybody knows that dry breath, it ain't greasy

Back in Texas last week
That's a-when a-things got bleak
Be careful of what you speak
Might come find you
A Choctaw just this mornin'
They started shootin' out without warnin'
If it hadn't been for my woman that had me sleepin'

Man, I really feel it comin' on
I've been in Kentucky too long
Been in Kentucky makin' somethin' out of nothin' too long

Daddy was in Vietnam
It says it on his old sedan
He's been fightin' with Uncle Sam about somethin'

News been talkin' about a bank
Wasn't me this time for goodness' sake
But if it was, I'd a split the take
If you really know me

I guess I'm doin' just fine
On big Sandy and a-doin' time
That woman's 'bout to have my child
She says she needs me

I ain't in Kentucky for my health
I done came here for somethin' else
Mama used to say dry breath sure ain't greasy

Man, I really feel it comin' on
I been in Kentucky too long
I been in Kentucky tryin' to make that woman love me too long

Man, I can feel it comin' on
I been in Kentucky too long
I been in Kentucky makin' somethin' out of nothin' too long

Been in Kentucky too long
Been in Kentucky too long
Man, I really feel it comin' on
Been in Kentucky too long
