Russell County Kentucky
Overcast on a mid-November day
Breeze out of the Northeast
Just finished another working day
TV dinner is waiting
Brush the dust off my boots my hat and my face
Smile and a kiss from my lady
She patiently waited for me all day
Didn't want to tell her
My heart belongs to someone and it's not her
Just needed someone to take away the hurt the regret and the pain
Didn't want to tell her
My heart belongs to someone and it's not her
Just needed someone to take away the hurt the regret and the pain
Oh Oh
Double-wide trailer
Overcast on a late November day
Her whole family is waiting
It must be my wedding day
Yes I'm getting married
Brushed the dust off my boots my hat and my face
Promised her forever
A ring and a kiss and I be wed
No chance to tell her
My heart belongs to someone and it's not her
Just needed someone take away the hurt the regret and the pain
No chance to tell her
My heart belongs to someone and it's not her
Just needed someone to take away the hurt the regret and the pain
Oh Oh
Russell County Kentucky
Ten below on a late December day
Got my car all loaded
Yes I'm leaving here today
I'm going to California
Brushed the dust off my boots and my hat and my face
Off to find my baby
I filled the tank and I drove away
No one to tell her
My heart belongs to someone and it's not her
I just needed someone to take away the hurt the regret and the pain
No one to tell her
My heart belongs to someone and it's not her
I just needed someone to take away the hurt the regret and the pain
Oh Oh
TV dinner is waiting
She called my friends my mom and the county jail
Worried sick by the window
She patiently waited for me all day
