I LIVE UP ON THE KINGSTON PIKE
IT’S A GOOD WAYS OUT BUT THERE’S A LOT TO LIKE
GOT AN OLD FRONT PORCH WHERE WE SIT AT NIGHT
JUST ME AND THE GIRL WITH THE PRETTY GREEN EYES
SHE’S GOT A VOICE AND SHE CAN RAISE IT UP
SONGS OF THE HILLS, SONGS ABOUT LOVE
GOT A MANDOLIN AND AN OLD GUITAR
TRADIN’ OFF LEADS ON THE WILDWOOD FLOWER
AND WHEN THE HILLS AROUND THIS PLACE GO AUTUMN RED
AND WE FALL INTO THAT NICE WARM FEATHER BED
OH, I’LL TELL YOU HOW THAT FEELS TO ME
(CHORUS)
IT’S A GOOD PLACE TO BE
A GOOD PLACE TO BE
JUST HER AND ME
AND THE SOUTHERN STARS ABOVE
IT’S A GOOD PLACE TO BE
TO BE IN LOVE
THERE’S SO MUCH JUNK IN THE MODERN MIND
TOO MUCH TO DO, AND NOT ENOUGH TIME
THE CONCRETE GREY AND THE ASPHALT BLACK
I MET THIS GIRL AND I’M NEVER GOIN’ BACK
‘CAUSE WHEN THE SUN COMES UP AS GOLD AS KANSAS WHEAT
AND YOU WAKE UP NEXT TO SOMEONE WARM AND SWEET
OH, I’LL TELL YOU HOW THAT FEELS TO ME
(REPEAT CHORUS)
(BRIDGE)
IT’S A GOOD PLACE TO BE (GOOD PLACE TO BE)
WHEN THE AUTUMN LEAVES ARE TURNIN’ RED
A GOOD PLACE TO BE (GOOD PLACE TO BE)
OH TO FALL DOWN IN THAT FEATHER BED
JUST HER AND ME
AND THE SOUTHERN STARS ABOVE
IT’S A GOOD PLACE TO BE
TO BE IN LOVE
