Mickey Newbury - Leavin' Kentucky lyrics

Cold on the mountain When Winter comes on The dew in the morning Sprinkled alone Road down to Nashville Like crystal and stone Leavin' Kentucky And I'm going back home God knows I loved her Too much I can see Much more than she Could have ever love me If I was the last man In East Tennessee God I'm just one man I wish I was three Take a forty-four pistol to me Put one in my brain for her memory One more for my heart And then I'd be free It's cold on the mountain When Winter comes on The dew in the morning Is sprinkled alone Road down to Nashville's Like crystal and stone Leavin' Kentucky And I'm going back home Yes, I'm leavin' Kentucky And I'm going back home
