Текст песни: Harlan County Highway + перевод

I was born one stormy night

Then a hard rain started fallin'

Daddy died inside a mine

Mama cried but she kept goin'

I left school for a job

Mama begged me not to take

Of running Kentucky shine

Down the Harlan County Highway

And then I married Lorraine

She gave our baby my name

Lord, that woman tried

More with each passing day

What started out as heaven

Got lost along the way

So I turned off

Down the Harlan County Highway

Way down in Louisville

Where the ponies run

Where a man can turn a dollar

Into a hundred on a hunch

He can buy his dreams

Or heaven for a smile

Temptation calls from every corner

Seven corners in a mile

Shackled to a highway call

My bones ache to keep rovin'

I’m standin' in the cold

With all my cards a showin'

What’s the use of runnin'?

And nothing but runnin' left to do

Look for me 'cause I’ll be a comin'

Or a goin', one of the two
