lyrics
The Ballad of Kentucky Slim- JG Stott
Kentucky Slim he jumped a west bound train
Running from a life of sin.
With only a bag of secret pain
And many a scar on his fragile skin.
He spent the night beside the track at a siding where they loaded grain.
Carved his name on the wall out back, then headed on West again.
Kentucky Slim, Kentucky Slim
Where you going boy, where you been?
This is a race that you can’t win.
Kentucky Slim, Kentucky Slim.
That name was hidden for 100 years , Underneath a sheet of tin.
It held his hopes and all his fears, He never passed this way again.
What could have a man posessed, so he’d carve his name on weathered pine?
Did he do a wrong that couldn’t be redressed, did he know he was running out of time?
We all hope that we’ll leave our mark, as we spin through this troubled world.
A little light, a little spark, a little sign, a flag unfurled.
But time rolls on, just like the train. It might pause, but not for long.
We pass the minutes, writing our names, in old boards or in a song.
