Lyrics for The Road to Kaintuck

We're goin' west to Kaintuck down the road to Moccasin Gap Down the wilderness road Down the Dug Road the old Reedy Creek Road The Road down Troublesome Road through Moccasin Gap Well it's a hot day in '73 and this is my wife and my kid with me Daniel Boone lost his boy the other day young Jim Boone is dead twenty miles away Well if you love your wife and love your baby man You better turn that wagon back as soon as you can Ev'ry Injun in them hills has gone berserk you never gonna make it to Kaintuck Ah I bet I'm gonna make it to Kaintuck I'm goin' west to Kaintuck down the road to Moccasin Gap Down the wilderness road Down the Dug Road the old Reedy Creek Road The Road down Troublesome the Road through Moccasin Gap
