Beyond this ma

There's a road

 cool green fi

Everyone has a front porch swing, every house a parlour

o Harlan

Chestnut hair in the mornin’ sun looks like it’s catchin’ on fire
She's long, she's lean, she won't run, she fills me with desire
Kentucky eyes look up at me from a bed of yellow daisies
The sun is warm, her kiss is hot, she's gonna drive me crazy

Chorus
