We don't hate the U.S. in Kentucky.
We don't hip-hop rap dance on the flag.
We don't trash our country in all the classrooms,
And on our playgrounds our kids still play tag.

"Cause we know we're very lucky in Kentucky.
We would rather work than take the dole.
We enjoy our bourbon and love our horses,
And hope the E.P.A. won't outlaw coal.

We don't wear our pants with butt cheeks showing.
Calling women "hos" is not our way.
We treat others as we would be treated,
And "race" is what we watch on Derby Day.

For it's certainly not yucky in Kentucky.
If you're in trouble we won't run and hide.
Late-term unborns we respect as living,
And marriage means male groom and female bride.

We don't see the help in useless regulations.
We're upset by governmental fraud.
Law-abiding sane folks can have firearms,
And we don't spit on those who worship God.

All we folks are downright plucky in Kentucky.
We're always in the game for the long haul.
'Though we're scorned by the pop culture elitists
We don't care. We have U.K. basketball.
Perhaps that's why they're jealous of us all.
In Kentucky U.S.A. we have a ball.
