VERSE 1 YES, HE WAS CALLED KENTUCKY
CAUSE HE CALLED THAT STATE HIS HOME
SAILORS TOOK TO NICKNAMING FROM WHEREVER THEY DID ROAM
THE WAR IT BROUGHT A BATTLE
KENTUCKY’S SHIP WAS DOWN
HE SWAM THROUGH THE WATERS TILL THE OTHER SIX AND HE
WERE FINALLY FOUND

CHORUS HE MADE SENSE OF IT ALL
THE DYING AND THE LIVING
THE DUTY AND ITS CALL HE MADE SENSE OF IT ALL
HE MADE SENSE OF IT ALL

VERSE 2 THEN HE LEFT KENTUCKY MOVING ONTO THE MIDWEST
GIVEN SPACE IN A FACTORY PAINTING TRACTORS AT HIS BEST
THE WAR NOW WAS 8 TO 5, HE TENDED BAR AFTER DARK
SOMEHOW HE TAUGHT HIS KIDS TO STRIVE AND BELIEVE
THEIR LIVES WERE MORE THAN JUST A LARK

CHORUS HE MADE SENSE OF IT ALL…
BRIDGE HE DREAMS OF SAILING OUT ON THE SEA
IN A SHIP OF HIS OWN HE FEELS SO FREE
AND IN HIS FACE HE FEELS THE OCEAN BREEZE
IN A SHIP THAT HE WOULD CALL KENTUCKY

VERSE 3 NOW KENTUCKY’S IN HIS SEVENTIES
THE CHILDREN ARE GROWN AND GONE
BUT HIS GOLF GAME’S IN THE NINETIES
AND HE STILL GOES HOME TO THE WOMAN HE’S LOVED FOR SO LONG
alternate line…..(HE STILL GOES TO GIVE HIS STRENGTH TO OUR MOM)
CHORUS HE MADE SENSE OF IT ALL….
TAG FINALLY IT MAKES SENSE TO ME – KENTUCKY - KENTUCKY
