Lyrics

"Blue John Road"

(Tim Patterson)

I knew a girl 'lived back in the woods - I'd go to see her every time I could
Kentucky woman she's so gentle and sweet - the kind of girl to knock you off your feet
There ain't but one way to get to her place - I hit the gravel like I'm running a race
Chorus
It's kind of curvy but it ain't too wide - winding down the holler round the old hill side
It takes me back to when I wasn't so old - takes me back to Blue John Road
Take me down to Blue John Road

Blue moon a shining on the river at night - Blue eyed Kentucky Girl she looking alright
She likes the rain when it's falling down - she likes to sing when there's no one around
Those rain soaked jeans yeah they're looking so tight - I go to see her and she gets me right
Chorus
It's kind of curvy but it ain't too wide - winding down the holler round the old hill side
It takes me back to when I wasn't so old - takes me back to Blue John Road
Take me down to Blue John Road
Lead
There ain't but one way to get to her place - I hit the gravel like I'm running a race
Chorus
