Lyrics

"Blue John Road"
(Tim Patterson)

I knew a girl 'lived back in the woods - I'd go to see her every time I could
Kentucky woman she's so gentle and sweet - that kind of girl could knock you off your feet
There ain't but one way to get to her place - I'd hit the gravel like I's running a race
Chorus
It's kind of curvy but it ain't too wide - winding down the holler round the old hill side
It takes me back to when I wasn't so old - take me down to Blue John Road
Take me down to Blue John Road

Blue moon a shining on the river at night - Blue eyed Kentucky girl was looking alright
She liked the rain when it was falling down - she liked to sing if there was no one around
Those rain soaked jeans they was looking so tight - I'd go to see her and she'd get me right
Chorus
It's kind of curvy but it ain't too wide - winding down the holler round the old hill side
It takes me back to when I wasn't so old - take me down to Blue John Road
Take me down to Blue John Road
Lead
There ain't but one way to get to her place - I'd hit the gravel like I's running a race
Chorus
