Bus Fare To Kentucky

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
 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...
