[Verse 1]
He's a Bible on the dash of his Chevy, give the shirt off his back
Salt of earth, steady as the dirt he kicks on the welcome mat
He's worked hard for a half hundred acres, it's heaven far as you can see
He don't need much, just the two us sittin' on a hickory swing
[Chorus]
He's sippin' that Kentucky, starin' at the settin' sun
One part of me feels lucky, one part wants to run
When he hears the tin roof rainin', I feel a restless wind
There's a good man on the porch, and I'm on the fence
[Verse 2]
What if these dreams I'm dreamin' take me past the county line?
The town gets small and the highway calls, and I need to touch the sky
No, it ain't so cut and dry
[Verse 3]
He's sippin' that Kentucky, starin' at the settin' sun
One part of me feels lucky, one part wants to run
When he hears the tin roof rainin', I feel a restless wind
There's a good man on the porch, and I'm on the fence
[Bridge]
If I settle down, would I wonder 'bout what's around the bend every now and then?
I'm back and forth like that rockin' chair he's rockin' in
[Chorus]
Sippin' that Kentucky, starin' at the settin' sun
One part of me feels lucky, one part wants to run
When he hears the tin roof rainin', I feel a restless wind
Oh, why am I so torn?
There's a good man on the porch, and I'm on the fence
