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 country side I've drifted near and far I've been off to seek my fortune I've been followin' every star I've 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 chicken 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 chicken And every minute we're alive we're livin' I love her so she knows that it was worth a while to wait Cause i'm happy here with my kentucky straight
