As you can probably guess, Kelsey is named for one of my favorite songs.... "Kentucky Rain" by Elvis Presley.
Kentucky Rain:
Seven lonely days and a dozen towns ago
I reached out one night and you were gone.
Don't know why you'd run
What your running to, or from
All I know is I want to bring you home.
So I'm walking in the rain, thumbing for a ride
on this lonely Kentucky back road
I loved you much to long, my love's too strong,
To let you go, never knowing what went wrong.
Kentucky rain keeps pouring down
And up ahead is another town that I'll go walking though
Searching for you...
In the cold Kentucky Rain...
In the cold Kentucky Rain...
Showed your photograph to some old, gray, bearded men
sitting on a bench outside a general store.
They said "Yes, she's been here."
But their memory wasn't clear.
Was it yesterday, no wait, the day before.
Finally got a ride, with a preacher man who asked,
"Where you headed on such a cold, dark afternoon?"
As we drove on through the rain,
As he listened, I explained.
And he left me with a prayer that I'd find you.
Kentucky rain keeps pouring down,
And up ahead is another town that I'll go walking through
With the rain in my shoe,
Searching for you....
In the cold Kentucky rain....
In the cold Kentucky rain....
In the cold Kentucky rain.... |
