Well little-by-little and blow-by-blow
It's the little breakin' downs in the towns you know
I'm chokin' on this bitter pill
Now I'm headed back to Louisville

Whoa, oh, oh
Whoa, oh, oh-oh
Whoa, oh, oh
I'm headed back to Louisville

Now don't worry, baby, she said it's fine
What's mine is yours and what's yours is mine
She clean my clock but it's ticking still
I'm headed back to Louisville

Whoa, oh, oh
Whoa, oh, oh-oh
Whoa, oh, oh
I'm headed back to Louisville

The queen bee buzzin' 'round my bedroom door
I don't know who she's lookin' for
Sweet sacrifice comin' for the kill
Now I'm headed back to Louisville

Whoa, oh, oh
Whoa, oh, oh-oh
Whoa, oh, oh
I'm headed back to Louisville
