17 Miles of Bourbon

Overdrive Kentucky 62
Smoke is rising thick and blue
Wild Turkey burning, high lonesome sound
17 miles of bourbon flowing down
Turn of the century it was a mystery
The day that river caught fire
The Lord looked down and he breathed a heavy sigh
40 gallon barrels firing at the sky
And the catfish were in town looking for ginger ale
And the stores sold out of all the garden hose
Sheriff Amos White took the train out of town
At least that’s what we all suppose
Overdrive Kentucky 62
Smoke is rising thick and blue
Wild Turkey burning, high lonesome sound
17 miles of bourbon flowing down
Overdrive Kentucky 62
Smoke is rising thick and blue
Wild Turkey burning, high lonesome sound
17 miles of bourbon flowing down
It was a fateful day that clear, windy May
When that green river turned a milky brown
The bibles were all closed and people danced in rows
Whiskey river flowing through the town
And the catfish were in town looking for ginger ale
And the stores sold out of all the garden hose
Sheriff Amos White took the train out of town
At least that’s what we all suppose
Overdrive Kentucky 62
Smoke is rising thick and blue
Wild Turkey burning, high lonesome sound
17 miles of bourbon flowing down
17 miles of bourbon flowing down
17 miles of bourbon flowing down
