Kentucky - Sammi Smith

Won’t forget the first time that I saw him

I overheard somebody say Kentucky was his name

He just stood there unconcerned and sang though the angels were all listenin'

Now I was passin' through on my way for some long forgotten place

I only planned to got away a lost and lonely Texas winter evening

But I found myself a wishin' I could stay and listen to Kentucky sing

Won’t you sing that song again Kentucky

Don’t you mind I sing along with you

And I’ll be on my way again Kentucky

Everytime I hear that song I get to think of you

Everything has changed since that Texas winter nights a long ago

The dreams that I was dreamin' there finally become reality

Now we just go from town to town and we laugh and sing every song we know

Life was good to me and my Kentucky

So let’s sing that song again Kentucky

Let’s sing it loud Kentucky I love you

And I’ll never go away from you Kentucky

Everytime I hear that song I get to reach and touch you
