"Kentucky Borderline"
Written by: Rhonda Vincent & Terry Herd
Album: One Step Ahead
CAPO 4
[G]She pulled outta Mobile in the pourin' rain
Movin' through the darkness like a hurricane
From [C]southern gulf port waters to the [D]Cumberlands so green
[G]Lousiville by Nashville and all points in between
[C]Poundin' out a rhythm [D]makin' up lost time
[G]Headin' for that Bluegrass state of mine
CHORUS:
[C]White smoke a-rollin' whistle a blowin'
Listen to her engine keepin' [D]time Kentucky border-[G]-line
Montgomery by mornin' Birmingham by noon
Onward through the timber upward to the moon
Her lonesome whistle cries a low sad refrain
Like the boys down on Beale Street singin' of the pain
No one is gonna stop her from her appointed rounds
This train is movin' on she's glory bound
CHORUS
Her lungs are full of fire breathin' burnin' coal
A-ragin' locomotion like thunder when it rolls
Singin' for the mighty who cast her molten steel
Drove the spike and laid the rail to ride beneath her wheels
The pride of our nation she's a monument to them
A Southern belle that mighty L & N
CHORUS x 2
Kentucky borderline
