Chorus:
Girl done left, she’s gone to Kentucky
She headed out on a one-way track
Fool hearted man thought she’d never leave
But she’s gone to Kentucky and she ain’t comin’ back

She gave a lot and he gave a little
He ran around every Saturday night
She got tired of playin’ second fiddle
He went home thinkin’ everything’s fine
She’s getting out and she’s getting out fast
To a place where the only thing blue is the grass

(chorus repeat)

You’d think that she’d be crying now
And maybe her eyes are all cried out
So that girl is smiling now
Just thinking what he’ll think when he finds out

(chorus repeat)

Noooo, yeah she’s goin’

He came home and went straight to the kitchen
He found a note and the supper on a plate
A flat glass of Coke and cold piece of chicken
The note said that’s the last dinner I’ll make
She’s getting out and she’s getting out fast
To a place where the only thing blue is the grass

(chorus repeat x2)
