Please Don't Take Me to Kentucky

lyrics

Please don't take me to Kentucky
I haven't been there since I was a child
When I saw my daddy sitting in the jailhouse
He waved at me and I stood there and smiled

My ma told me he's working in Kentucky
Honey, that's why daddy's not around
He'll be home soon, but for now we go and visit
And remember, dear to keep our voices down

Too young to know the difference
Too sweet to think of crime
Too pure to know my daddy
Was really serving time
Too late to make it better
It's left a load here on my mind
So I'd rather not pass that old state line

Please don't take me to Kentucky
I piece this thing together all the time
I've got memories that send my head a-reelin'
As I separate what happened from the lie

Too young to know the difference
Too sweet to think of crime
Too pure to know my daddy
Was really serving time
Too late to make it better
It's left a load here on my mind
So I'd rather not pass that old state line

Please don't take me to Kentucky
It's not a place I wanna talk about
So if you're trying to drive us through Kentucky
I'm begging you please take another route
I'm begging you please find another route.
