I’m in Kentucky
Don’t know a soul in Kentucky
I’m drifting and floating like a balloon
When I think of Kentucky
And of you in Kentucky
I don’t want to leave Kentucky anytime soon

Lexington would be sweet
We’ll dance in the heat
Under a late summer moon
I’m here in Kentucky
And if you come to Kentucky
Let’s not leave Kentucky anytime soon

Oh, me oh my oh
Come cross the Ohio
And let’s be in no rush getting back
I’ll braid your hair with a comb
We’ll sing My Old Kentucky Home
We’ll search for constellations when the sky fades to black

We’ll watch the rain from our windowsill
In our apartment in Louisville
Feed you sweet honey from a spoon
I’m in Kentucky
Come to Kentucky
And we won’t leave Kentucky anytime soon

I’m in Kentucky
Come to Kentucky
And we won’t leave Kentucky anytime soon
