Bet you thought I'd never care There was a time when I felt lucky just to be away from there I've had all of what I wanted, but what I want, I just can't find & how things are in Clay, Kentucky, has been lately on my mind All alone in New York City, searchin' for that pot of gold Now I'm at the end of all my rainbows, & all at once I'm feelin' old I count the tires of how I'm livin', of what I am & what I'm not & the only gold in New York City is in a Salvation Army pot I'm gettin' blue for the bluegrass & how the old folks are at home Just let me do the talkin', 'cause I know you're all alone I hear kids back there playin'; I won't be, don't notice me Jesus knows I still love you, but I just had to call & see How things are in Clay, Kentucky. Bet you thought I'd never care There was a time when I felt lucky just to be away from there I've had all of what I wanted, but what I want, I just can't find & how things are in Clay, Kentucky, has been lately on my mind & how things are in Clay, Kentucky, has been lately on my mind Coda: same as intro
