Sweet Kentucky Ham
Midnight Musings: Sweet Kentucky Ham's Lonely Odyssey
Lyrics
It's 6 P.M., supper time in South Bend, Indiana
Supper time in South Bend, Indiana at 6 P.M.
And you figure what the hell you can eat in your motel
Considering meal options in a motel in South Bend
So you order up room service on the phone
Ordering room service on the phone
And you watch the local news and eat alone
Watching local news and eating alone
You've gotta take what little pleasures you can find
Finding joy in small pleasures
When you got sweet Kentucky ham on your mind, on your mind
Thinking about sweet Kentucky ham
Nothin' but sweet Kentucky ham on your mind
Having nothing but sweet Kentucky ham on the mind
It's 10 PM, they're rollin' up the sidewalk in Milwaukee
10 PM in Milwaukee, limited dining options
And the only place to eat, is just across the street
The only place to eat is across the street
So you sit there with a bowl of navy beans
Sitting with a bowl of navy beans
And you turn the pages of magazine
Passing time by reading a magazine
And you feel you wanna quit while you're behind
Feeling like giving up due to challenges
'Cause you've got sweet Kentucky ham on your mind, on your mind
Thinking about sweet Kentucky ham
Nothin' but sweet Kentucky ham on your mind
Having nothing but sweet Kentucky ham on the mind
And you feel like you're forever on the phone
Feeling constantly connected and talking on the phone
Half past 10, let it ring
It's half past 10, letting the phone ring
Dial again, same damn thing
Continuing to dial with no success
And you're really getting hungry for some choc
Craving chocolate
Grab a shower, take a walk
Taking a shower and going for a walk
It's 3 A.M., they're servin' up last call in Cincinnati
Last call in Cincinnati at 3 A.M.
But it's still a night time town
Cincinnati is a night-time town
If you know your way around
Being awake despite the late hour
And despite yourself you find you're wide awake
Knowing your way around Cincinnati
And you're staring at your scrambled eggs and steak
Staring at scrambled eggs and steak
And you must admit your heart's about to break
Admitting that the heart is about to break
When you think of what you left behind
Reflecting on what was left behind
And you've got sweet Kentucky ham on your mind, on your mind
Thinking about sweet Kentucky ham
Nothin' but sweet Kentucky ham on your mind
Having nothing but sweet Kentucky ham on the mind
