Old Kentucky Blues Lyrics

From the Appalachians to the city lights, he packed up his life

Kissed his girl goodbye

Closed his eyes and dreamed of her as he slowly walked away

He must've held her close for a million years, but it wasn't enough

To settle all his fears of losing the one he knew

He was meant to be with her

He hopped on that plane, it was growing late

Though parts of him wouldn't hesitate

To leave this war behind if he could trade his blues away

For just another day with her. And he sang

Well, the sun shines down on that old Kentucky blue

But all I ever think about is you! you! you

From The mountaintops to the cool November sky

You know, all I ever wanted was to have you by my side

I've got them old Kentucky blues

Well, he wrote home when he could. Basking in the memories

Of that girl he left behind

She was waiting patiently. And she told him come home soon

It gets longer every day that I'm out here without you

In the cold November rain

And they sang

Well, the sun shines down on that old Kentucky blue

But all I ever think about is you! you! you

From The mountaintops to the cool November sky

You know, all I ever wanted was to have you by my side

I've got them old Kentucky blues

I've got them old Kentucky blues

I've got them old Kentucky blues

I've got them old Kentucky blues
