John Prine’s grandma
surely a teacha
went to school in Bowling Green
Taught history
to the Everly’s
prettiest girl you ever seen
who came on back,
to Tommy Womack,
married him in Bowling Green
Our river is barren
Our old men are clean
Our caution, please heed, you’ve been told
31W is Nashville Road
The Bypass is the same
(Our streets have more’n one name)
Our songs we sing
Can only mean one thing
All roads lead to Bowling Green
Kossoy Sisters
surely kissed her
in a chair in Bowling Green
from Greenwood Mall
then with Tom T. Hall
hitched to Spencer’s for caffeine
Cousin Emmy
took to them, he,
Johnny’s man from Bowling Green
Our river is barren
Our old men are clean
Our caution, please heed, you’ve been told
231 is Scottsville Road
Broadway is the same
(Our streets have more’n one name)
Our songs we sing
Can only mean one thing
All roads lead to Bowling Green
