Horse Cave, Kentucky

Horsecave, Kentucky on a Saturday night
It’s a hell of a way spend your life
Can get yourself into trouble quicker than you think
Be on Guntown Mountain before you can blink
Willie met Betty at the adult bookstore
Just off I-65
And they got themselves an ice-cream cone
At The Dinosaur World that night
Black-eyed Susan’s looking over the ridge
The Peafowl’s call, the river’s over the bridge
She said she wasn’t going to but she did anyway
She just meant not in the light of day
I know I felt the Earth move
The first time we laid down in the grass
But the splendor didn’t last
Just left me clinging on to the past
Springtime in Kentucky warms up when the goldenrods bloom
And it’s hotter than Hell before it’s June
But it’s nice and cool down in Mammoth Cave
I’d like to crawl down there tonight to get away
Passer by’s and truck drivers
Pull off of the Interstate
We take their money for cigarettes
And our bourbon that only we can make
Betty made Willie #7 after their date
But now she’s looking for husband #8
Willie couldn’t be true, she caught him cheatin' at the Dinosaur Show
Where he is these days only the Interstate knows
Yeah I know there’s a city
Two hours each way up this Interstate
But for some damn reason never seem to leave
These pink dinosaurs so strange
Horsecave, Kentucky on a Saturday night
It’s a helluva way to spend your life
