You left me for the bright lights of the town A country boy set out to see the world Remember when those city lights shine down That big old moon shines on your Kentucky girl I swear I love you by the moon above you How bright is it shinin' in your world Some mornings when you wake up all alone Just come on home to your blue Kentucky girl Don't wait to bring great riches home to me I need no diamond rings or fancy pearls Just bring yourself you're all I'll ever need That's good enough for this blue Kentucky girl I swear I love you by the moon above you How bright is it shinin' in your world Some mornings when you wake up all alone Just come on home to your blue Kentucky girl
