Kentucky Straight

Johnny Cash

Transposer:

[Intro]      [Speech] Up in Kentucky they make a whiskey they call a Kentucky straight whiskey And up in Kentucky I married a woman That I bet she is a better woman than that whiskey is whiskey I call her my Kentucky straight [Verse 1] I’ve rambled round the country side I’ve drifted near and far I’ve been off to seek my fortune I’ve been following every star I’ve rode the devil’s highway the hell bound interstate But now I’m back at happy shack with my Kentucky straight [Chorus] And we rise up every morning with the chicken And every minute we’re alive we’re living She’s a little bit old fashioned but her lovin’s up to date And I’m happy here with my Kentucky straight [Verse 2] I had looked for satisfaction in the arms of quite a few And I’ve done everything that I was big enough to do But everywhere I see her face from Maine to golden gate And I knew that this is where it’s at with my Kentucky straight [Chorus] And we rise up every morning with the chicken And every minute we’re alive we’re living She’s a little bit old fashioned but her lovin’s up to date And I’m happy here with my Kentucky straight

La chanson évoque l'amour rural et simple, où le narrateur raconte sa vie nomade et ses recherches de bonheur. Il finit par réaliser que la véritable satisfaction se trouve auprès de sa femme, qu'il compare à un bon whisky de Kentucky. Chaque matin, ils se réveillent ensemble, vivant le moment présent, appréciant la stabilité d'une relation solide. Bien que traditionnelle, son amour est toujours moderne et précieux pour lui. C’est un hommage à la vie simple et à l’attachement, loin des distractions du monde.
