"All Downhill From Ashland" lyrics

Ooh

Hey, hey Mama can you hear me now
I'm far from heaven but I'm screaming loud
You held the curse from your mama's hands
For me to wear around me like a family brand

Ooh, ooh, ooh

Well, I was left here in the space between
Where you couldn't love you, so how could love me?
If you left your demons back in the holler
Why the hell you dragging me into muddy waters?

Kentucky roots burnin' deep in our blood
And there's some things that you just can't rise above
If we'd a known the beginning was the end
We should have known
We would have known the truth is
It was all downhill from Ashland

Well times were simple when we would sing
It felt like prayer and now it feels like pain
Forgiveness comes in heavy ways
I love you, I need you, I hate you some days

Kentucky roots burnin' deep in our blood
And there's some things that you just can't rise above
If we'd a known the beginning was the end
We should have known
We would have known the truth is
It was all downhill from Ashland

Kentucky blood harmonies
The whole world heard but they couldn't see
The price it cost you and me
For those Kentucky blood
Harmonies

Ooh, ooh, ooh

Kentucky roots burnin' deep in our blood
And there's some things that you just can't rise above
If we'd a known the beginning was the end
We should have known
We would have known the truth is
It was all downhill from Ashland

Ooh, ooh, ooh

Kentucky blood harmonies
The whole world heard but they couldn't see
Ooh, ooh
Ooh, ooh, ooh
Ooh, ooh
Kentucky blood harmonies
The whole world heard but they couldn't see
