about

A down-on-his-luck rambler criss-crosses the USA bedevilled by dejection and rejection until one day his fortunes suddenly change in the Bluegrass State. A country rock number.

lyrics

LUCKY IN KENTUCKY
1. I was feeling pretty low when I left Idaho
People there called me poor white trash
More misery in Missouri
Had to leave there in a hurry
When I stole that midnight mama’s secret stash

2. I was a sad and sorry boy
When I passed through Illinois
I know I almost ended up in jail
Had a close brush with the law
In the hills of Arkansas
So I caught a freight and rode out on the rail

Bridge And I didn’t get no kisses
From them Mississippi misses
They said goodbye and left me high and dry¨
They said goodbye and left me high and dry
There was nobody waiting for me
When I crossed over into Tennessee
So I headed north to where the grass is blue
That’s where I ran smack dab into you

Chorus I got lucky in Kentucky
I mean hit-the-jackpot lucky
Now I tell you what I’m gonna do
I got lucky in Kentucky
I mean hit-the-jackpot lucky
I’m gonna spend my whole life here with you
In Kentucky where all my dreams came true

When I got to Delaware
I was hungry as a bear
No fish there would nibble on my line
By the time I hit Ohio
I was batting almost zero
In my pocket just a dollar forty-nine
