Kentucky Straight
Written by - Johnny Cash
From - Any Old Wind That Blows
Spoken:
Up in Kentucky
They make a whiskey they call a Kentucky Straight Whiskey
And up in Kentucky
I married a woman that, I bet
She is a better woman than that whiskey is whiskey
I call her my Kentucky Straight

I've rambled round the countryside
I've drifted near and far
I've been off to seek my fortune
I've been followin' every star
I rode the devil's highway
The hell bound interstate
But now I'm back at happy shack
With my Kentucky Straight

And we rise up every morning with the chickens
And every minute we're alive, we're livin'
She's a little bit old fashioned
But her lovin's up to date
And I'm happy here
With my Kentucky Straight

I had looked for satisfaction in the arms of quite a few
And I've done everything that I was big enough to do
But everywhere I see her face
From Maine to Golden Gate
And I knew that this is where it's at
With my Kentucky Straight

And we rise up every morning with the chickens
And every minute we're alive, we're livin'
I love her so she knows that it was worth her while to wait
'Cause I'm happy here
With my Kentucky Straight
