Wade Ashford - Kentucky Clay (Official Lyric Video)

Twelfth floor, marble in the hall, and a trail of red boot prints from the door to the window. "Kentucky Clay" is for everybody who took the city job but never left home behind. You can polish up the leather all you please, but the ground you come from never leaves. 🟤 Perfect for: the drive home on Friday 🚙 · gym and work playlists 💪 · small-town folks living in the big city 🏙️ LYRICS Can't wash off that Kentucky clay Got a room on the twelfth floor, marble in the hall Fancy little soaps and a TV on the wall Took two steps in and the bellhop froze Little red prints from the door to the window I scrubbed 'em with a towel, scrubbed 'em with my sleeve Some things just don't wanna leave Can't wash off that Kentucky clay Red on my boots, run deep in my veins Take me to the city, buy me a suit and tie Still gonna track a little holler inside Ten thousand miles, it don't fade away Hometown's walkin' with me every day Yeah, everywhere I go, I leave a little trace Can't wash off that Kentucky clay (Stomp, stomp) Red dirt road (Stomp, stomp) Takin' me home Can't wash off that Kentucky clay Took a meeting downtown in a glass tower room Everybody's shoes shinin' like the moon Shook a hand, signed my name, did the job just right Left a little Kentucky on the carpet that night I scrubbed 'em with a towel, scrubbed 'em with my sleeve Some things just don't wanna leave Can't wash off that Kentucky clay Red on my boots, run deep in my veins Take me to the city, buy me a suit and tie Still gonna track a little holler inside Ten thousand miles, it don't fade away Hometown's walkin' with me every day Yeah, everywhere I go, I leave a little trace Can't wash off that Kentucky clay Daddy used to say, "Son, wipe your feet" Now I know what he meant, it's the dirt that keeps you sweet You can polish up the leather, you can shine 'em all you please But the ground you come from never leaves Can't wash off that Kentucky clay Red on my boots, run deep in my veins Take me to the city, buy me a suit and tie Still gonna track a little holler inside Ten thousand miles, it don't fade away Hometown's walkin' with me every day Yeah, everywhere I go, I leave a little trace Can't wash off that Kentucky clay (Stomp, stomp) Red dirt road (Stomp, stomp) Takin' me home Can't wash off that Kentucky clay 💬 What's the one thing from your hometown you can't wash off?
