Cold Gray Kentucky Morning

(album: Greatest Hits... And Then Some - 1997)

Well the rain is a dripping from the trees
Just like the tears a falling from my cheeks
And the lonesome train's moving down the track
Just like her it ain't coming back
She left me here without any warning
On a cold gray Kentucky morning

I need a cup of coffee with a shot of cream
Wake me from this awful dream
When I went to sleep she was by my side
And I didn't know she wasn't satisfied
Well she left me here without any warning
On a cold gray Kentucky morning

And all the time, she never said a word
I guess I should have known, from what I never heard
Now I'm waking up without my darling
On a cold, cold gray Kentucky morning

Now the Ohio is wide and deep
And I'm walking beside it in my sleep
And I'm thinking about drowning my sorrow
'Cause I don't want to have to face tomorrow
She left me here without any warning
On a cold gray Kentucky morning

And all the time, she never said a word
I guess I should have known, from what I never heard
Now I'm waking up without my darling
On a cold, cold gray Kentucky morning
On a cold, cold gray Kentucky morning
