Songs Title:bus fare to kentucky[00:00:01]
I know I'm just a country girl I hadn't seen much of the world[00:00:10]
Today my bus pulled out of old Kentucky[00:00:14]
My daddy waved and mama cried and I felt all choked up inside[00:00:19]
Cause I was leavin' everyone that loved me [00:00:22]
The first I saw of city ways went against how I was raised[00:00:28]
This country girl was really out of place[00:00:32]
And I was set to go back home but I was broke and all alone[00:00:36]
And I couldn't find another friendly face [00:00:41]
But I didn't have the bus fare to Kentucky[00:00:45]
Or this city would have seen the last of me[00:00:50]
I didn't have the bus fare to Kentucky[00:00:54]
And that old Grey Dog won't let me ride for free [00:00:59]
I met a boy from Tennessee and I guess he reminded me[00:01:08]
Of someone that I knew in old Kentucky[00:01:12]
It was good to have a friend and it was good to laugh with him[00:01:17]
And it was good to hear him say he loved me [00:01:21]
I never thought he'd do me wrong so I gladly went along[00:01:26]
I loved him more than any man I've known[00:01:30]
And after he had all his fun he told me that our love was done[00:01:35]
And then he left this country girl alone [00:01:39]
I didn't have the bus fare to Kentucky[00:01:44]
Or this city would have seen the last of me[00:01:48]
I didn't have the bus fare to Kentucky[00:01:53]
And that old Grey Dog won't let me ride for free [00:01:57]
I can't afford to go first class so I'll make it the best I can[00:02:02]
Anything to get my feet on that good Kentucky land[00:02:07]
My thumb is in the air and my suitcase by my side[00:02:11]
Won't somebody give this poor old country girl a ride [00:02:15]
Kentucky I'm a comin' home I'll never leave you anymore[00:02:20]
Kentucky I don't know why I ever strayed[00:02:27]
Kentucky your bluegrass bridges and your valleys call to me[00:02:34]
Kentucky I'm comin' home to stay[00:02:42]
Kentucky I'm a comin' home I'll never leave you anymore[00:02:49]
