Pike County Queen

Too damn young to do what I was told I'd run through the hills I'd drink and I'd smoke Nineteen with ramblin' on my mind Never thought I'd find a lover That'd slow down my stride But that's way behind And I told her You're lookin' like something I'd seen in my dreams Won't you come my way my Pike County Queen 23 never looked so lonely tonight But I'm ten miles from Lykins Creek I hope I make it there by light Remember all those times That Momma used to say "Son your hell bound for livin' Your life this way" With lying eyes I'd say "Momma I'm heaven sent" Didn't think an angel from down the river Would make me an honest man That was back then And I told her You're lookin' like something I'd seen in my dreams Won't you come my way my Pike County Queen 23 never looked so lonely tonight But I'm ten miles from Lykins Creek I hope I make it there by light Black haired beauty, with a wild side There's something I need to tell ya Before you head home tonight You're lookin' like something I'd seen in my dreams I'm so glad you're mine my Pike County Queen This Kentucky moon's never shined so bright On the face of such an angel, who saved my life
