Lyrics

Warm Kentucky Wind2000 Captain Kidd Music BMI /Words & Music - Karl Sky

I took a drive just yesterday
through winding roads I guess I?d wished away.
I found the tree where we first kissed
and ran my finger round the heart I missed.

I drove on further to the house
the yard seems empty with her flowers gone.
That old porch swing where we held hands
an every summer night romance?

Refrain:
Oh, that Warm Kentucky Wind stirs the memories in my mind
I have seen the vision of your face at least a thousand times
The way you drove away that final wave
No last kiss for goodbye
I can feel it all again
in that Warm Kentucky Wind

The owner came out of the house
she asked me, ?Just who is it you?re looking for??
I told her, ?I had lived here once.?
Before the damage had been done.

I waved goodbye to my new friend
and found the place where my love left me then
Even as the light turned green?
I just sat there staring at the scene.

Refrain

Bridge: I tell myself she is gone and other times I just let go
I might catch a glimpse tonight
before her spirit leaves my soul

No broken glass or shattered hopes
To find upon the pavement here below
One driver took my lover?s life
I stand here screaming to the sky?
