Story Behind The Song
In the cradle of nature and driving through the open hills of Kentucky
I thought of Mine Eyes Look to the Hills from Whence Cometh my Help-
so I asked them to heal me.
they did.

Lyrics
Hills of Kentucky, heal my soul
I fell in love like a school girl
I did not watch the road
like I did not know what the rules were
I drove on through the detour sign
hill of Kentucky, ease my mind
Hills of Kentucky, heal my soul
it seems my life is wasted
I'm so out of control - looking
for that moment that I tasted
I wanted most of all
Hills of Kentucky, break my fall
You've had your own share of choosing
and losing your way
still you stand so proud
hills of Kentucky, teach me how
Hills of Kentucky, heal my soul
I fell in love like a school girl
I did not watch the road
I gave my heart like a child would
go running through your wildwood trees
Hills of Kentucky, comfort me.
Give me some of that good ol' southern
comfort now
You've had your own share of grieving
and leaving your past - still you
live so now
Hills of Kentucky, teach me how
