Story Behind The Song

I love the state of Kentucky and wanted to write them a song.This song was written in honor of Eddy Montgomery of the Montgomery/Gentry duo,because Eddy couldn't find anything that ryhmed with his home state of Kentucky.And the rest is history.

Lyrics

I was real lucky to be born in Kentucky
where the moon shine still spills on them bluegrass hills
on a clear Kentucky night.

An ole boy and a girl can go for a whirl
at a barndance goin on somewhere
them twin fiddles are playin and a steel guitar
is still layin it straight to the heart
no wonder we can't seem to keep a banjo and a mandolin apart.

I was real lucky to be born in Kentucky
where the moonshine still spills on them bluegrass hills
on a clear Kentucky.

Oh-i was real lucky to be born in Kentucky
where the moon shine still spills on them bluegrass hills
on a clear Kentucky night.

And i will do whatever it takes to fish them Kentucky Lakes
while the catfish are jumpin
and somebody's a thumpin on an old uptight bass somewhere
and im the happiest there.

Oh-i was real lucky to be born in Kentucky
where the moonshine still spills on them bluegrass hills
on a clear Kentucky night.

Well-i was real lucky to be born in Kentucky
where the moon shine still spills on them bluegrass hills
on a clear Kentucky night.

Where you can't blame a man for lovin a woman
whose got pretty eyes and fair hair
where we play piana-which probably came from Indiana
on a clear Kentucky night.

Oh-i was real lucky to be born in Kentucky
where the moonshine still spills on them bluegrass hills
on a clear Kentucky night.

Oh-i was real lucky to be born in Kentucky
where the moon shine still spills on them bluegrass hills
on a clear Kentucky night.

Ah yeah-on a clear Kentucky night
on a clear Kentucky night.
