When I was a child my family would travel[00:00:25]

Down to Western Kentucky where my parents were born[00:00:30]

And there's a backwards old town that's often remembered[00:00:35]

So many times that my memories are worn[00:00:40]

And Daddy won't you take me back to Muhlenberg County[00:00:44]

Down by the Green River where Paradise lay[00:00:48]

Well I'm sorry my son but you're too late in asking[00:00:53]

To the abandoned old prison down by Airdrie Hill[00:01:10]

Where the air smelled like snakes and we'd shoot with our pistols[00:01:15]

But empty pop bottles was all we would kill[00:01:20]

Then they wrote it all down as the progress of man[00:02:03]

Let my soul roll on up to the Rochester Dam[00:02:33]

I'll be halfway to Heaven with Paradise waitin'[00:02:38]

Just five miles away from wherever I am[00:02:42]
