PARADISE
AWhen I was a child mDy family woAuld travel
Down to Western Kentucky where my pEarents were boArn
To a backwards old town I oDften remeAmbered
So many times that my meEmories are woArn
TAhan, sometimes we'd travel on doDwn the Green RiAver
To the abandoned old prison down by AdErian HAill
Where the air smelled like snakes and we'd sDhoot with our pisAtols
But empty pop bottles was all tEhat we?d kiAll
ADaddy won't you take me back to MDuhlenberg CAounty
Down by the green river where pEaradise lAay?"
I'm sorry my son, but you're tDoo late in aAsking
Mister Peabody's coal train has haEuled it awAay"
AWell the coal company came with the wDorld's largest shoAvel
They stripped all the timber and toErtured the laAnd
They dug for the coal till the lDand was forsAaken
Then they wrote it all down as the pErogress of mAan
ADaddy won't you take me back to MDuhlenberg CAounty
Down by the green river where pEaradise lAay?"
I'm sorry my son, but you're tDoo late in aAsking
Mister Peabody's coal train has haEuled it awAay"
AWhen I die let my ashes float dDown the Green RiAver
Let my soul roll on up to the REochester DAam
I'll be halfway to Heaven wDith paradise waAitin'
Five miles away from whEerever I aAm
ADaddy won't you take me back to MDuhlenberg CAounty
Down by the green river where pEaradise lAay?"
I'm sorry my son, but you're tDoo late in aAsking
Mister Peabody's coal train has haEuled it awAay"
I'm sorry my son, but you're tDoo late in aAsking
Mister Peabody's coal train has haEuled it awAay"
