Sweet Kentucky Ham

It’s 6 P.M.
Supper time in South Bend Indiana
And you figure what the hell, you can eat at your motel
So you order up room service on the phone
You watch the local news and eat alone
You gotta take what little pleasure you can find
You got sweet Kentucky ham on your mind, on your mind
Nothing but sweet Kentucky ham on your mind
It’s 10 P.M.
They’re rolling up the sidewalk in Milwaukee
And the only place to eat just across the street
So you sit there with you bowl of navy bean
Turn the pages of your magazine
And you feel you want to quit while you’re behind
'Cause you got sweet Kentucky ham on your mind, on your mind
Nothing but sweet Kentucky ham on your mind
You feel like you are forever on the phone
Half past 10, let it ring, dial again, same damn thing
You’re really getting hungry for some talk
Grab a shower, take a walk
They’re serving up last call in Cincinnati
But it’s still a night time town if you know your way around
And despite yourself you find you’re wide awake
Staring your scrambled eggs steak
And you must admit your heart is about to break
When you think of what you left behind
And you got sweet Kentucky ham on your mind, on your mind
Nothing but sweet Kentucky ham on your mind
