Bowling Green Neko Case

Neko Case's cover of the old Everly Brothers classic, "Bowling Green". Lyrics:

Way down in Bowlin' Green
Prettiest girls I've ever seen
A man in Kentucky sure is lucky
To live down in Bowlin' Green

Bowlin' Green folks treat you kind
They let you think your own mind
A man in Kentucky sure is lucky
In Bowlin' Green you walk your own line

Oh Kentucky sunshine makes the heart unfold
It warms the body and I know it touches the soul
Blue Grass is fine, but Kentucky owns my mind

The fields down in Bowlin' Green
Have the softest grass I've ever seen
A man in Kentucky sure is lucky
To lie down in Bowlin' Green, yeah

Bowlin' Green girls treat you right
They wear dresses cut country right
A man in Kentucky sure is lucky
If he's seen the Bowlin' Green light

Oh Kentucky sunshine makes the heart unfold
It warms the body and I know it touches the soul
Blue Grass is fine, but Kentucky owns my mind

Bowlin' Green, Bowlin' Green, Bowlin' Green...
Way down in Bowlin' Green
Yeah!

Well, the song was written 45 years ago.

This seems like an odd choice of song to cover. Maybe it's because I've lived in BG for the past four years and I don't think it's so special, ha.
