I'm headed for the bluegrass state goin' back where the livin's great
Though my body left one day my mind's never been away from Kentucky Kentucky

Back to the place where I was raised I bet nothin' in Boone County's changed
I'll start livin' right again when my feet touch down on my old friend
Kentucky Kentucky

I'm coming back to settle down I've been a few years wanderin' round
Seein' places I've dreamed about prayed about and just had to see
Now I've satisfied that urge in me and I'm comin' home Kentucky Kentucky

I've just seen the prettiest highway sign twenty miles to the Kentucky line
I'll find me a Kentucky wife together we'll make for us a life Kentucky Kentucky

I'm coming back to settle down...
