the night before your wedding,

I dreamed what i would say,

I'd beg you for forgiveness,

For all the mess i've made.



I dreamed that you were gracious,

I dreamed you wished me well,

I dreamed that you were vicious,

You damned me straihgt to hell.



Chorus

But, oh, sweet kentucky

No matter where i land

I was just a boy for you

And he will be your man.

I was just a boy for you

And he will be your man.



I'd tell you that i'm lonely,

And fame has let me down,

Living like a stranger,

Traveling town to town.



And all my aspirations,

Don't amount to much,

The wine and the women,

Are such a shameful crutch.



Chorus



I know you will be happy,

And i'll be in the band,

Cause i was just a boy for you,

And he will be your man.



And i was just a boy for you,

He will be your man...
