Bobby Osborne - "Kentucky Morning"

Good afternoon, my friend CW5 Jack Cardwell and thank you for sharing the music video of Bobby Osborne performing "Kentucky Morning" from his album 'ORIGINAL"

"Kentucky Morning"
Lyrics
"I am the one, who stayed behind
While the others were going away
To the mills of Chicago, to the plants of Detroit
For the promise of a five-dollar day

They would come by in December, while the folks were alive
With gifts from the money they'd made
And they'd talk of the nights, 'neath the bright city lights
And wonder how I ever stayed (And I'd tell them)

Chorus
Oh, your bright lights don't shine, like a Kentucky morning
You can't hear a whippoorwill out on the street
Give me a good piece of land, and an old cane-back rocker
While life goes on, and on
While life goes on, and on

I took a train out of Corbin, and headed up North,
to visit a brother of mine
Said he'd talk to his foreman, for to get me a job
Working midnight's assembly line

And I was there with my brother, making factory pay
But lord, my soul was alone
It was four in the morning, I shut down my machine
And I told them, "I'm going home."

Chorus
Oh, your bright lights don't shine, like a Kentucky morning
You can't hear a whippoorwill out on the street
Give me a good piece of land, and an old cane-back rocker
While life goes on, and on and on
While life goes on, and on

Give me a good piece of land, and an old cane-back rocker
While life goes on, and on and on
While life goes on, and on
While life goes on, and on"
