lyrics

how my eyes would brighten
as they'd race across those horse farm fences
all black and white and never ending
I’d know I'd made it home once again

we'd fly down old Nicholasville Road
going to see ol' Aunt and Avue's place
along the winding creek and hills so steep we'd follow
I wish I was making that trip today

blue, blue Kentucky
that's how I still feel for you
blue, blue Kentucky
I wonder now, how do you feel for me?

back home it's a different life
where folks work hard and never forget to call
where katydids and crickets sing the songs of the night
and fireflies at dusk will lead you safely home

that bluegrass can hypnotize
like the scent of a million honeysuckle wet with dew
sometimes when I close my eyes
I swear I'm standing right there next to you

blue, blue Kentucky
that's how I still feel for you
blue, blue Kentucky
I wonder now, how do you feel for me?

Yeah, back home, it’s a different life
That so long ago I said good bye
And how the days pass and the dwindling sands of time
I’m still every bit as blue inside

blue, blue Kentucky
that's how I still feel for you
blue, blue Kentucky
I wonder now, how do you feel for me?
I wonder now, how do you feel for me?
I wonder if I could have been
the son you wanted me to be
