Lyrics

Now a lot of words have spelled the same with a different meanin' you see
But here's a brand new way to spell heaven and accordin' to me
You take a k and an e and an n and a t and u c k y
That spells kentucky but it means paradise
You take a chicken and you kill it
And you throw it in the skillet and you fry up a golden brown
That's southern cookin' taste mighty nice
It don't cover a lot when you look on a map
But I once studied geography when I sat in my mama's lap
You take k e n t u c k y that spells kentucky but it means paradise
[ harmonica - guitar ]
It don't cover a lot..
Yes that spells kentucky but it means paradise
