Lyrics:
(Dolly Parton)
In my home town of Blackie, Kentucky
He came passin' through one dark, gloomy day
And I considered myself as lucky
When he told me
(Close your eyes close your eyes in sleep)
Skeeters am a hummin' on honeysuckle vine sleep Kentucky babe
Sandman am a comin' to this little boy
of thunder
Take a toast again
Drink to the couples at the edge of the lake
Rhythm and booze
I'm not in the mood to sleep, honey
It takes all night, only in
Your face still haunts my sleep
My East Kentucky Dream
How can something be
So warm and pretty
And so cold and mean
There's days when she shines so
darling
On a cold, cold gray Kentucky morning
Now the Ohio is wide and deep
And I'm walking beside it in my sleep
And I'm thinking about drowning my
And at the end of the week its sunny and seventy-five
Girl you tear me down and you come back around
The clouds roll by and I've been losing sleep
But then you
your way
Says ''c'mon stranger won't you stay'
You're in Kentucky, sure as you're born
When the shadows creep
You can go to sleep
On a carpet
65 Malibu with the steel plates
Disco ball out here wish I had a latte
They asked me why you never sleep
I said I got a heart prob
Won't even let
on the pillow Know you'll be there in my sleep
Dreaming back into September If there was something I could change
There's a storm in Kentucky And you're always
I got this bad b comming from upsy
She just wan bruck her back & give ucky
How many times did we rise that brucky
& sutting got fried like Kentucky
Yo our society's corrupted it's clear to see
Politicians lying ain't nothing free
The matrix running runnin' the show
While the common man struggles
Give up my house, sleep for nights on concrete
Meditate with all the bums on Vine Street
No more running, no more hiding in the house of the dead
I think
I'm telling you that everything gone be alright
(Everything gone be alright)
You say I make it hard for you to sleep at night
(Hard for you to sleep
I'm telling you that everything gone be alright
(Everything gone be alright)
You say I make it hard for you to sleep at night
(Hard for you to sleep
Smells bad and eyes sad, existing for another day
We didn't hear the warning, broken our society now
We didn't hear the warning, broken our society now
We
keep them hands clappin'
These days the worlds so hypocritical
Everything be getting political
Opinions's be weighed to critical
Society's become so
and took his life
Ditzy campaign
Til the rains washed away
His beautiful plan
His beautiful plan
His dreams swept away on a sad Kentucky night
He
Society
Who's to say who loves you
And on the colors of love
Are we to be schooled
Society
Our minds, bodies, and souls will meet tolerance
need a boarding pass catch!
3 or 4
To Seas a shores
No sleep performing
Cat nap
I leave in morning
Jet lag!
I keep employment rap yea!
Keep
do or die (Do or die)
In society
Yeah it's do or die (Do or die)
In society
I'm asking
Who am I, (who am I)
Really tryna be
Who am I
Really tryna be
High Society
Scrambled eggs and whiskey
With a side of gin
Long cut Skoal in can
Is our medicine
We get a little reckless
This community
Livin’ in
He was just an old country doctor
In a little Kentucky town
Fame and fortune had passed him by
But we never saw him frown
As day by day in his
Aye aye aye aye aye
If women can sleep their way to the top
Then why the fuck can’t we
What’s with all these double standards in today’s society
I got no time to eat
I got no time to sleep
I got a truck full of stuff
Should've been there last week
I've been livin' in truck stops
My body
