My Kentucky Mind

 

The autumn winds are blowing,

Across my troubled mind.

I’ve not forgot the sleepy town,

In my Kentucky mind.

 

Its ups and downs, and all arounds,

The verdant bluegrass holds me.

My childhood days won’t pass away,

From my Kentucky mind.

 

Hold me now.

Wrap me up, console me.

Hold me close.

Let your arms enfold me.

 

Though streets are bare,

I’m everywhere,

I can’t forget the glory.

I’ve not forgot the sleepy town,

In my Kentucky mind.

 

Same ups and downs, and all arounds,

These snowy hills can’t hold me.

My childhood days won’t pass away,

From my Kentucky mind.

 

I’ve not forgot the sleepy town,

In my Kentucky mind.
