Take Me to Harlan Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Never thought I'd go back
Hills and hollers fallin' down on me
Kentucky's such a long way
There's an echo in the valley
I can hear it callin' back to me
I will come to you love
[Chorus]
So take me to Harlan
Any way you go
Take me to Harlan
Didn't you know?
If you take me to Harlan
Doesn't matter how we go
If it's you and me
This is how it should be
[Post-Chorus]
So take take take
Take take take
Take take take
To Harlan
[Verse 2]
Never thought I'd go back
Hills and hollers fallin' down on me
Kentucky's such a long way
Distance is a virtue
But only if it sets you free
My heart is tied to you love
[Chorus]
So take me to Harlan
Any way you go
Take me to Harlan
Didn't you know?
If you take me to Harlan
Doesn't matter how we go
If it's you and me
This is how it should be
[Chorus]
So take me to Harlan
Any way you go
Take me to Harlan
Didn't you know?
If you take me to Harlan
Doesn't matter how we go
If it's you and me
If it's you and me
If it's you and it's me
This is how it should be
[Outro]
Take me, take me
Take me to Harlan
Take me, take me
Take me to Harlan
