Kentucky lyrics

The night before your wedding
I dreamed what I would say
I beg you for forgiveness
For all the mess I made

I dreamed that you were gracious,
I dreamed you wished me well
I dreamed that you were vicious,
You damned me straight to hell

But oh sweet Kentucky
No matter where I land
I was just a boy for you
And he will be your man

And I was just a boy for you
And he will be your man

I'd tell you that I'm lonely
And fame has let me down
Living like a stranger,
Traveling town to town

And all my aspirations
Don't amount to much
The wine and the women
Are such a shameful crutch

But oh sweet Kentucky
No matter where I land
Cause I was just a boy for you
And he will be your man

And I was just a boy for you
And he will be your man

I know you will be happy
And I'll be in the band
Cause I was just a boy for you
And he will be your man

And I was just a boy for you
And he will be your man
