Unlock the door, take off my shoes
Don't embrace me baby, just fill a glass of ice and booze
Think I care what happened at school today?
You don't teach them nothin', not what they need to know anyway

Things don't look different but they sure have changed
They didn't break me but I'm not the same
Our love is night where once the bright sun shone
It's not necessarily good to be back home

Distant and resigned my mind is fine
If I could just get past that one moment in time
Even my own family has lost all care
They see me as a drunk with fading mind and thinning hair

But in my heart is love from God above
This pride in countrymen they know not of
Certain things money just cannot buy
These emerald mountains and sapphire plated skies

Can't stay here this way, gotta talk on the mic
It's thirty miles to Hazard - a good long healthy hike
I put my shoes back on, button up my coat
Gonna tell the people there to get out and vote vote vote

Vote
Vote
Vote for Calvin Akers

And then perhaps they'll want to vote for me
God willing they'll all come and vote for me
People of the bluegrass come and vote for me
You know I'm the man for the job
