Kentucky town with blue skies high above you
It's such a shame baby couldn't love you
She wanted to go home for so very long
Now we're all alone you and me Kentucky

Oh Louisville I should be gone but I'm here still
And if I don't go now I'll never will Louisville

[ steel - dobro ]
She wanted to go home for so very long
Now we're all alone you and me Kentucky

Your lights are bright but her eyes are even brighter
You hold me tight but she holds me even tighter
Oh now it's her or you now I have to choose
And Louisville you'll lose

Oh Louisville I should be gone but I'm here still
And if I don't go now I'll never will Louisville
Oh Louisville I should be gone but I'm here still
And if I don't go now I'll never will Louisville
