capo 5 — sounds 5 semitones higherIntro
Verse 1
The wildest one I ever seen
Blew out of Bowling Green
Half a mile off Exit 22
Save all week to lay a spell
Up in that old motel
Have ourselves a redneck rendezvous
Chorus
Say, mama, you'd better rest
You've been rockin' them boys to death
Every bar I'm in, I hear your name
Lay down my Kentucky Hurricane
Interlude
Verse 2
One by one, they slide in hot
Crowdin' up the parkin' lot
Darlin', how I wish they'd let you be
I sit out here and wait my turn
Wonderin' when you'll ever learn
Told you I'm your man, I'll set you free
Chorus
Now, mama, I've got enough
We can count it up in the truck
Quit this town and catch the morning train
Come on, my Kentucky Hurricane
Bridge
Well, I've been up and I've been down
Lookin' for a pretty gown
Dreamin' 'bout an autumn wedding day
Comin' through the Campton gap
With your legs across my lap
One night, I just know we'll find a way, hey, hey
Instrumental Break
Verse 3
For heaven's sakes, oh, man alive
Got me down on 65
Swept me up, now here I am, marooned
Starin' out these prison bars
Up into the bluegrass stars
Swear I saw you dancing in the moon
Chorus
Now, mama, I've gotta go
I can hear that ol' whistle blow
Got myself a brand-new ball and chain
Goodnight, my Kentucky Hurricane
