Your face still haunts my sleep My East Kentucky Dream How can something be So warm and pretty And so cold and mean There's days when she shines so bright The most beautiful thing That I've seen in this life But there's days when it hurts just to breathe Cause she stomped on my heart and left me to bleed Am I killing myself For my East Kentucky Dream My East Kentucky Dream Chase her they say or you'll live with regret But I never know which kind of day will come next And things aren't what they seem The day can start bitter and finish so sweet But that knife it cuts both ways A morning so pretty and a night full of rage But I'll keep on rolling that dice 'Cause those gut-wrenching lows Can't touch the highs And your face still haunts my sleep My East Kentucky Dream How can something be So warm and pretty And so cold and mean The closer I get The further it seems My East Kentucky Dream My East Kentucky Dream My East Kentucky Dream My East Kentucky Dream
