Leftover Salmon - Blue Kentucky Sky
Somebody asked me if I d been to old Kentucky
If I d seen the green hills in the early morning light
I just laughed and smiled, said you know that I ve been lucky
I ve got visions of Kentucky, in every corner of my mind.
I fust saw Kentucky when I was seventeen
And I hitchhiked out of Pittsburg chasing bluegrass dreams
I went to my first festival and drank a little shine
Watching Bill Monroe sing the Walls of Time
Chorus:
And them green Kentucky hills
Rollin to the sky
Ripplin waters flowin
Under that Moonshine
Been around the World
But I ve never rest my eyes
On a place as sweet as home
Under Blue Kentucky Skies
On a place as sweet as home
Under Blue Kentucky Sky
Well I ve lived a life I ve been up and I ve been down
I have lived on porches and slept out on the ground
Well I ve hung around mansions and all that I ve found
That there s nothing ike a cabin in that Old Kentucky ground
[Chorus]
Jam (verse and chorus)
Well I go back to Kentucky just to play this old guitar
That s how I make my livin now, singing in these bars
But no matter how far I travel these days, no matter how far
I ve got visions of Kentucky shining like a star
[Chorus]
