Lyrics
The lonliest Kentucky town, the lonliest Kentucky town, just got lonlier tonight. Katie's running for the city lights, yeah Katie's running for the big city lights of the Cincinnati Skyline, the Cincinnati skyline.
There's a boy in that Kentucky town, he's gonna farm there all his life. And he's heartbroken tonight. Cause Katie's running for the city lights, yeah Katie's running for the big city lights of the Cincinnati skyline, the Cincinnati skyline.
Many years have passed since she ran away, its the same old town, with a touch of grey, I wonder where she is tonight. She's runnin' for the city lights, yeah Katie's running for the big city lights of the Cincinnati skyline, the Cincinnati skyline.
