Bus Fare To Kentucky

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------                              BUS FARE TO KENTUCKY - Skeeter Davis ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- INTRO        I know I’m just a country girl I hadn’t seen much of the world Today my bus pulled out of old Kentucky   My daddy waved and mama cried and I felt all choked up inside Cause I was leavin’ everyone that loved me. The first I saw of city ways went against how I was raised This country girl was really out of place And I was set to go back home but I was broke and all alone And I couldn’t find another friendly face. But I didn’t have the bus fare to Kentucky Or this city would have seen the last of me I didn’t have the bus fare to Kentucky And that old Grey Dog won’t let me ride for free.        I met a boy from Tennessee and I guess he reminded me Of someone that I knew in old Kentucky   It was good to have a friend and it was good to laugh with him And it was good to hear him say he loved me. I never thought he’d do me wrong so I gladly went along I loved him more than any man I’ve known And after he had all his fun he told me that our love was done And then he left this country girl alone. But I didn’t have the bus fare to Kentucky Or this city would have seen the last of me I didn’t have the bus fare to Kentucky And that old Grey Dog won’t let me ride for free. I can’t afford to go first class so I’ll make it the best I can Anything to get my feet on that good Kentucky land My thumb is in the air and my suitcase by my side Won’t somebody give this poor old country girl a ride. Kentucky I’m a comin’ home I’ll never leave you anymore Kentucky I don’t know why I ever strayed Kentucky your bluegrass bridges and your valleys call to me Kentucky I’m comin’ home to stay Kentucky I’m a comin’ home I’ll never leave you anymore...
