Jay Gavin - Rhythms And Rhymes

I woke up this morning in Muhlenberg county
Just feet from the old Rochester Dam
I was on my way to hell with paradise waiting
Just five miles from wherever I am
The air was so thick
It been kissed by the water
And there were signs of busier times
I sat down and cried right beside the Green River
Riddled with rhythms and rhymes
And Daddy can't take you home anymore
The coal company hauled it away
And Peabody's train is still rollin' on
And keeps getting longer each day
Then I went and climbed up on old Airdrie Hill
And I found that old prison in the woods
I stepped inside and I nearly lost my mind
Back where John Prine once stood
It seemed like a dream the most fairytale thing
That this here country boy could ever find
No wonder why young John
Immortalized in song
To relive three minutes at a time
And Daddy can't take you home anymore
The coal company hauled it away
And Peabody's train is still rollin' on
And keeps getting longer each day
I woke up this morning in Muhlenberg County, Kentucky
Just feet from the Rochester Dam
I was on my way to hell with paradise a waiting
Just five miles from wherever I am
