"Kentucky Hurricane" lyrics

"Kentucky Hurricane"

The wildest one I've ever seen
Blew out of Bowling Green
Half a mile off of exit 22
Save all week to lay a spell
Up in that old motel
Have ourselves a redneck rendezvous

Say mama you better rest
You've been rockin' them boys to death
Every bar I'm in I hear your name
Lay down my Kentucky hurricane

One by one they slide in hot
Crowdin' up the parkin' lot
Darlin' how I wish they'd let you be
I sit out here and wait my turn
Wonderin' when you'll ever learn
Told you I'm your man I'll set you free

Now Mama I've got enough
We can count it up in the truck
Quit this town and catch the morning train
Come on my Kentucky hurricane

Well I've been up and I've been down
Lookin' for a pretty gown
Dreamin' 'bout an autumn wedding day
Comin' through the Crampton gap
With your legs across my lap
One night I just know we'll find a way

For heaven sakes o man alive
Got me down on 65
Sweatin' me up now here I am a room
Starin' out these prison bars
Talkin' to the bluegrass stars
Swear I saw you dancing in the moon

Now mama I gotta go
I can hear that ole whistle blow
Got myself a brand new ball 'n chain
Goodnight my Kentucky hurricane
