To Kentucky I Will Roam

i went to the railroad tracks
the place where they bend
the train, she's a steamer
all the way to the end

got my little sticks of dynamite
got my fuses in a row
by this time tomorrow, baby
i'll be down the road

nobody loves a bad man
'cept his mom i suppose
when they bring the noose down
it's the last friend i'll know

kentucky
kentucky
the green, green hills of home
when i hear that lonesome train
to kentucky i will roam

saw a bank down by the border
as weak as a baby bird
ain't no fun killing little ones
it's the big ones i prefer

there's always another score
there's always a mark
set you up in a real big way
come and see me after dark

nobody loves a bad man
'cept his mom i suppose
when they bring the noose down
it's the last friend i'll know

kentucky
kentucky
the green, green hills of home
when i hear that lonesome train
to kentucky i will roam

stayed awake all weekend
smoked the secrets of hell
stick around and have a taste
watch how satan fell

i'm rough around the edges
i'm shot up through and through
i've got to hide in the afterlife
bury me with my shoes

nobody loves a bad man
'cept his mom i suppose
when they bring the noose down
it's the last friend i'll know

kentucky
kentucky
the green, green hills of home
when i hear that lonesome train
to kentucky i will roam
