Kentucky - Jerry Reed

Kentucky you are the dearest land outside of heaven to me

Kentucky I miss your laurels and your redbud trees

When I die I want to rest upon a graceful mountain so high

For that is where God will look for me

Kentucky I miss the songs they’re singing in the silvery moonlight

Kentucky how I miss those hound dogs chasing coons

I know that my mother dad and sweetheart all waiting for me

Kentucky I’ll be returning soon
