"Kentucky Queen" lyrics

Well I left my feet in the dirt too long
Wasn't gonna wash off for days
Leave me right where I was planted
Don't miss the forest for the trees

Growin' up with the mountain on me
Roots down in the holler
When nobody was lookin'
I'd get back in that dirt

'Cause the dirt made me
The dirt made me
Like a Mama with no shame made me
The dirt made me
It gave me a name
Kentucky Queen

Well I took advice from my Aunt Ramona
Watch where the devil hides
Count your blessings against your sin
And pray the blessings win

Wash your hands and watch your sister
Take her where you go
When nobody was lookin'
I'd go lookin' for the wind

'Cause the wind made me
The wind made me
Like a Mama with no shame made me
The wind made me
It gave me a name
Kentucky Queen

(Kentucky Queen)

(Oooh, oooh)
(Oooh, oooh)

I'd walk through the red gate and
Swing it real wide
That road sure looked pretty
On the other side

'Cause the road made me
The road made me
Like a Mama with no shame made me
The road made me
It gave me a name
(Gave me a name)

Oh the road made me
The road made me
Like a Mama with no shame made me
The road made me
It gave me a name
Kentucky Queen
Kentucky Queen
Kentucky Queen
Kentucky Queen
Kentucky Queen
Kentucky Queen
Kentucky Queen
Kentucky
Kentucky Queen...
