Dwight Yoakam - Paradise lyric
Ringtone: Send Paradise Ringtone to your Cell Phone!
When I was a boy, my family would travel
Down to western Kentucky where my parents were born
To a lost little town there that's all but remembered
So many times that my memories are worn.
Chorus:
And, �Daddy, won't you take me back to Muhlenberg County?
Down by the Green River where Paradise lay?�
He said, �I'm sorry my son, but you're too late in asking
Mr. Peabody's coal train has hauled it away.�
Well, sometimes we'd travel right down the Green River
To the abandoned old prison down by Aidrie Hill
Where the air smelled like snakes & we'd shoot our pistols
Ooh, but empty pop bottles is all we would kill.
Chorus:
And, �Daddy, won't you take me back to Muhlenberg County?
Down by the Green River where Paradise lay?�
He said, �I'm sorry my son, but you're too late in asking
Mr. Peabody's coal train has hauled it away.�
Well, the coal company came with the, world's largest shovel,
They tortured the timber and stripped all the land
Lord, they dug for their coal �til the ground was forsaken
And wrote it all down as the, �Progress of man.�
Chorus:
And, �Daddy, won't you take me back to Muhlenberg County?
Down by the Green River where Paradise lay?�
He said, �I'm sorry my son, but you're too late in asking
Mr. Peabody's coal train has hauled it away.�
When I die, let my ashes float down the Green River
Let my soul roll on up to the Rochester Dam
I'll be halfway to Heaven with Paradise waitin'
Just 5 miles away from wherever I am...
