Raining In Kentucky

Lyrics

I strolled out to the highway with the scent of new-mown hay still on my Levis And the country air was cold against my cheek as I walked by a mountain stream With a dollar in my pocket, and an extra pair of jeans tied to my shoulder I went searching for my manhood with a roadmap full of all my childhood dreams And I wonder if it's rainin' in Kentucky Will the mornin' milkin' chores get done today? Will my pa call up the sheriff? Will my mama start to cryin'? When she finds out that her boy has run away What will she say? I guess I ought to drop a few short lines to let them know that I'm still livin' I reckon they'll be worried 'bout me, bein' as I'm the youngest boy and all To think that, only yesterday, I laid up in my featherbed a-dreamin' When somewhere in the silence of the night I thought I heard the highway call And I wonder if it's rainin' in Kentucky Will the mornin' milkin' chores get done today? Will my pa call up the sheriff? Will my mama start to cryin'? When she finds out her boy has run away What will she say? And I wonder if it's rainin' in Kentucky
