Kay Songtext
von Rick Recht

kay′s a young woman about 65
spends her life making fried chicken
in a restaurant in a small town in ohio or indiana
i don't know but i met her one day when my car broke down
cooking away and singing a song
something about sunshine on a rainy day
and a little boy playing on a swing somewhere
thinking about nothing
thinking about everything
laughing like a kid laughs

hey kay can you give me a smile
i sure could use a little hope today
hey kay is it gonna be all right
i′d sure like to feel like you
i'd sure like to see things the way you do
i'm so tired of running
running away


and i sat there staring at kay
thinking i′d rather die than grow old
cause i′ll never learn to smile like her
i'll never be satisfied doing one thing
or doing anything for that matter
so i listen to men talk like boys
act like i understand what they′re saying
i take directions from a stranger in the night
i drive on and on from town to town
and don't know where i′m going
i don't see any finish line

hey kay can you give me a smile
i sure could use a little hope today
hey kay is it gonna be all right
i′d sure like to feel like you
i'd sure like to see things the way you do
i'm so tired of running
running away

everywhere i go i see your face
a different smile or a different place
but it′s always the same
i′m driving down this long dark road tonight
i don't know where i′m going but it's just as well
cause i′m just holding on to you tonight kay
i'm holding on


hey kay can you give me a smile
i sure could use a little hope today
hey kay is it gonna be all right
i′d sure like to feel like you
i'd sure like to see things the way you do
i'm so tired of running
running away

it′s gonna be all right
