kentucky always wins

sunlight creeping in

dog barkin through the chain link fence

trying to make sense of the way my head hurts

mouth dry as the utah desert

started off a couple rounds

barstool on the edge of town

shoulda known better than to get there early

day drinkin always does me dirty

so give me one more shot of that hillbilly heat

that old brown label ain't never been beat

getcha floatin like a butterfly

buzzin like a bee

till it knocks you down again

ears ringin to that same ole song

and i know that it won't be long

before i'm back in the ring

taking one more swing for the fence

but kentucky always wins

livin in a livin hell

can't undrink or unring this bell

i shoulda known better than to mess with the champ

up against the ropes with a neon tan but

if i know me ain't no doubt

i can't give up and i won't tap out

toe to toe with a fifth of whiskey

rattling the cage of the dog that bit me

one more shot of that hillbilly heat

that old brown label ain't never been beat

getcha floatin like a butterfly

buzzin like a bee

till it knocks you down again

ears ringin to that same ole song

and i know that it won't be long

before i'm back in the ring

taking one more swing for the fence

but kentucky always wins

six to ten turned to two am and a last call tko

round to round comes around again and by now you'd think i'd know

(give me one more shot of that hillbilly heat

that old brown label ain't never been beat

getcha floatin like a butterfly

buzzin like a bee

till it knocks you down.)

so give me one more shot of that hillbilly heat
