“Only Kin Knows These Roads”

Livin up north of
Bowling Green
In a little old town that
No one’s ever seen
Where the blue grass grows
And blows in the wind
Sit on the porch and
Smoke an drink with my kin
In them back roads where
Nobody ever goes
Only kin knows
Only kin knows these roads

Only kin
Knows these roads
Only kin
Knows these roads
Way back here
Only kin knows these roads

Used to go swimming
In the green river
With my cousins
Up to no good
Right there is where
Mamaw’s house stood
Used to play in
Uncle Billy Ray’s barn
Till the sun went down
Oh how I love
How I love this little town

Only kin
Knows these roads
Only kin
Knows these roads
Way back here
Only kin knows these roads

In this little town
My Papaw was murdered
And beat down
He left 11 kids
For Mamaw to raise
All by her self
She did a hell of a job

Only kin
Knows these roads
Only kin
Knows these roads
Way back here
Only kin knows these roads
