Kentucky Always Wins – Sam Riggs

Sunlight creeping in
Dog barkin through the chain link fence
Trying to make sense of the way my head hurts
Mouth dry as the Utah desert

Started off a couple rounds
Barstool on the edge of town
Shoulda known better than to get there early
Day drinkin always does me dirty

(Six to ten turned to two am and a last call TKO)

So give me one more shot of that hillbilly heat
That old brown label ain’t never been beat
Getcha floatin like a butterfly, buzzin like a bee
Till it knocks you down again
Ears ringin to that same ole song
And I know that it won’t be long
Before I’m back in the ring
Taking one more swing for the fence
But Kentucky always wins

Livin in a livin hell
Can’t undrink or unring this bell
I shoulda known better than to mess with the champ
Up against the ropes with a neon tan but

If I know me ain’t no doubt
I can’t give up and I won’t tap out
Toe to toe with a fifth of whiskey
Rattling the cage of the dog that bit me

One more shot of that hillbilly heat
That old brown label ain’t never been beat
Getcha floatin like a butterfly, buzzin like a bee
Till it knocks you down again
Ears ringin to that same ole song
And I know that it won’t be long
Before I’m back in the ring
Taking one more swing for the fence
But Kentucky always wins

Six to ten turned to two am and a last call TKO
Round to round comes around again and by now you’d think I’d know

(Give me one more shot of that hillbilly heat
That old brown label ain’t never been beat
Getcha floatin like a butterfly, buzzin like a bee
Till it knocks you down…)

So give me one more shot of that hillbilly heat
That old brown label ain’t never been beat
Getcha floatin like a butterfly, buzzin like a bee
Till it knocks you down again
Ears ringin to that same ole song
And I know that it won’t be long
Before I’m back in the ring
Taking one more swing for the fence
But Kentucky always wins
Kentucky always wins
