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
