lyrics

Kentucky Runaways

C F C
I left Kansas City in the winter of ‘78
F G C
Thumbing on I-70 alone.
F G C Am
Homemade Bread in my knapsack. Colorado bound
F G
if the northern wind didn’t turn me into stone.

An old car wobbled toward me with Kentucky plates,
bald tires and a rag top shot with holes.
No mom or pop was driving, just two youngsters in the front.
And when that blizzard hit they didn’t even seem to know.


(C) F C
They played tic-tac-toe on the inside of that frosted windshield glass.
G C C7
Those Kentucky Runaways kept me alive,
F C
for a blizzard and that highway were no match for those kids. They had
G C
moonshine in their bottle and love in their eyes.

They had moonshine in their bottle. They had love in their eyes.
They had moonshine in their bottle. They had love in their eyes.

Well, the gas gauge dropped to empty. Next exit, 15 miles.
The heater died as we pulled off and my heart sank.
Then he opened up that trunk and said, “Jesus, what a waste.”
And poured a gallon of white lightning in the tank.

Well, it could of left us stranded or blown us clean to bits
but that old car roared to life just like a dream.
We cruised on through the snow drifts, climbed the next hill,
found the prettiest truck stop I have ever seen.

refrain
F C G C C7
They had moonshine in their bottle. They had love in their eyes.
They had moonshine in their bottle. They had love in their eyes.

refrain
