[Intro]
G Cadd9 Dsus4 G
G Cadd9 Dsus4 G
[Verse]
G
I'm a man of humble means
Cadd9
And I try not to let it get me down
Dsus4
No, I just keep movin' around
G
Onto the next town
G
Well, I'd rather live my life
Cadd9
With a hand on this suitcase of mine
Dsus4
Yeah, with just enough clothes to get me by
G
And I'll be just fine
[Chorus]
G Cadd9
Nobody, beautiful
Dsus4 G
To hear the wind whisper through the trees
G Cadd9
Nobody, it's sort of sweet
Dsus4
I'm missing Kentucky
Em7 Cadd9 Dsus4
But I guess I'll just keep movin' on
G
Lord, have mercy while I'm gone
[Verse]
G
I miss the water and the levee
Cadd9
And I miss riding in Adam's old Chevy
Dsus4
Knowing how my heart gets awful heavy
G
When it's time to leave town
G
And the people are always friendly
Cadd9
And they like drinking, evidently
Dsus4
And also Lord, let me down gently
G
This time
[Chorus]
G Cadd9
Nobody, beautiful
Dsus4 G
To hear the wind whisper through the trees
G Cadd9
Nobody, it's sort of sweet
Dsus4
I'm missing Kentucky
Em7 Cadd9 Dsus4
But I guess I'll just keep movin' on
G
Lord, have mercy while I'm gone
