It would have been a good idea
Had he thought about it in time
But he's always just a little too late
So I guess he will just stop trying
He could have placed a goodbye note
With some Kentucky flowers she could keep
But they would die in a few days time
And that's when he would weep
And get over her
Should have said farewell with Kentucky flowers
His mood swings from word to word like a clinging vine
And someday that vine is bound to break
But he's already been falling a very long time
So how does he apologize after having said so much
Maybe he could if for awhile she could touch
Kentucky flowers
