Lyrics
I'M GOIN' BACK TO THE BLUEGRASS OF KENTUCKY ©Pat Flanakin
Words & Music by Pat Flanakin
Oh well, I've had my fill of this city life
Day after day, Lord night after night
There's a hundred million people hangin' ev'rywhere
Some think I'm crazy, what do I care
I'm goin' back, back to the bluegrass of Kentucky
Gonna kick off my shoes with my big bare feet
Kick off my blues, Lord, get back to thee
Gonna dance to the fiddle and the mandolin
Then down to the river, Lord, wash off my sin
I'm goin' back, back to the bluegrass of Kentucky
I'm goin' back, back to the bluegrass of my youth
BREAK
Oh when I get there my mama's got a plate of stew
Sittin' on the table, Lord, like she used to do
When I was a kid and I'd eat my fill
Then run through the back woods by papa's still
I'm goin' back, back to the bluegrass of Kentucky
Oh well, I've had my fill of this city life
Day after day, Lord night after night
There's a hundred million people hangin' ev'rywhere
Some think I'm crazy, what do I care
I'm goin' back, back to the bluegrass of Kentucky
I'm goin' back, back to the bluegrass of my youth
I'm goin' back, back to the bluegrass of Kentucky
