Kay's a young woman about 65 Spends her life making fried chicken In a restaurant in a small town in ohio or indiana I don't know but i met her one day when my car broke down Cooking away and singing a song Something about sunshine on a rainy day And a little boy playing on a swing somewhere Thinking about nothing Thinking about everything Laughing like a kid laughs Hey kay can you give me a smile I sure could use a little hope today Hey kay is it gonna be all right I'd sure like to feel like you I'd sure like to see things the way you do I'm so tired of running Running away And i sat there staring at kay Thinking i'd rather die than grow old Cause i'll never learn to smile like her I'll never be satisfied doing one thing Or doing anything for that matter So i listen to men talk like boys Act like i understand what they're saying I take directions from a stranger in the night
I drive on and on from town to town And don't know where i'm going I don't see any finish line Hey kay can you give me a smile I sure could use a little hope today Hey kay is it gonna be all right I'd sure like to feel like you I'd sure like to see things the way you do I'm so tired of running Running away Everywhere i go i see your face A different smile or a different place But it's always the same I'm driving down this long dark road tonight I don't know where i'm going but it's just as well Cause i'm just holding on to you tonight kay I'm holding on Hey kay can you give me a smile I sure could use a little hope today Hey kay is it gonna be all right I'd sure like to feel like you I'd sure like to see things the way you do I'm so tired of running Running away It's gonna be all right
