Lyrics Edwin McCain

Edwin McCain

Kentucky

The night before your wedding I dreamed what I would say

I beg you for forgiveness for all the mess I made

I dreamed that you were gracious, I dreamed you wished me well

I dreamed that you were vicious, you damned me straight to hell

But oh sweet Kentucky

No matter where I land

I was just a boy for you

And he will be your man

And I was just a boy for you

And he will be your man

I'd tell you that I'm lonely and fame has let me down

Living like a stranger, traveling town to town

And all my aspirations don't amount to much

The wine and the women are such a shameful crutch

But oh sweet Kentucky

No matter where I land

Cause I was just a boy for you

And he will be your man

And I was just a boy for you

And he will be your man

I know you will be happy and I'll be in the band

Cause I was just a boy for you

And he will be your man

And I was just a boy for you

And he will be your man
