Please Don’t Be from Louisville

You can be that lovely
but, please don’t be from Louisville.

You are from Louisville?
Tell me you’re kidding me.

This is killing me.
Now I have to dream up

a whole new Kentucky
to explain you.

I just created a Kentucky
last month.

Tennessees I can do
all day.

Tennessees are easy.
My Pappy told me

enough to get me by
on that, but he really

had nothing to say
about Kentucky.

Alright, if you’re a Louisville girl.
I guess I’ll give it a whirl.
