[00:01.30]Songs Title：bus fare to kentucky
[00:03.30]
[00:10.35]I know I'm just a country girl I hadn't seen much of the world
[00:14.60]Today my bus pulled out of old Kentucky
[00:17.84]
[00:19.15]My daddy waved and mama cried and I felt all choked up inside
[00:22.96]Cause I was leavin' everyone that loved me.
[00:26.33]
[00:28.15]The first I saw of city ways went against how I was raised
[00:32.69]This country girl was really out of place
[00:35.31]
[00:36.68]And I was set to go back home but I was broke and all alone
[00:41.43]And I couldn't find another friendly face.
[00:44.36]
[00:45.87]But I didn't have the bus fare to Kentucky
[00:50.42]Or this city would have seen the last of me
[00:53.41]
[00:54.78]I didn't have the bus fare to Kentucky
[00:57.97]
[00:59.16]And that old Grey Dog won't let me ride for free.
[01:02.52]
[01:08.52]I met a boy from Tennessee and I guess he reminded me
[01:12.76]Of someone that I knew in old Kentucky
[01:16.12]
[01:17.43]It was good to have a friend and it was good to laugh with him
[01:21.86]And it was good to hear him say he loved me.
[01:25.36]
[01:26.48]I never thought he'd do me wrong so I gladly went along
[01:30.66]I loved him more than any man I've known
[01:34.94]
[01:35.51]And after he had all his fun he told me that our love was done
[01:39.75]And then he left this country girl alone.
[01:43.43]
[01:44.24]I didn't have the bus fare to Kentucky
[01:48.13]
[01:48.69]Or this city would have seen the last of me
[01:51.81]
[01:53.18]I didn't have the bus fare to Kentucky
[01:56.24]
[01:57.55]And that old Grey Dog won't let me ride for free.
[02:01.05]
[02:02.48]I can't afford to go first class so I'll make it the best I can
[02:07.35]Anything to get my feet on that good Kentucky land
[02:10.59]
[02:11.15]My thumb is in the air and my suitcase by my side
[02:15.90]Won't somebody give this poor old country girl a ride.
[02:20.02]Kentucky I'm a comin' home I'll never leave you anymore
[02:25.88]
[02:27.38]Kentucky I don't know why I ever strayed
[02:33.31]
[02:34.68]Kentucky your bluegrass bridges and your valleys call to me
[02:41.05]
[02:42.36]Kentucky I'm comin' home to stay
[02:47.92]
[02:49.23]Kentucky I'm a comin' home I'll never leave you anymore...
