(Dolly Parton)

I was lookin' for greener pastures 
When I left my old Kentucky home 
I was chasin' after dreams I thought I'd master 
So I left the one that loved me all along 
Thinkin' only of myself and doin' better 
Didn't care about the grief I left behind 
Didn't even make a card or write a letter 
So sure I'd be successful in no time 
Now I'm heading for bluer pastures 
And back to the one who's heart I broke 
To the bluegrass state of Kentucky 
Where he waits with open for me I hope 

Ain't it funny how you are when you're younger? 
How what you have is never good enough 
How the years will find you searchin' through your plunder 
Lookin' for the treasures you gave up 
Well the seasons came, they went 
The dreams all shattered 
While the grass just stayed a lonely shade of brown 
Then I realized I'd lost all that had mattered 
So with foolish pride aside, I'm homeward bound 

Now I'm heading for bluer pastures 
And back to the one who's heart I broke 
To the bluegrass state of ole Kentucky 
Where he waits with open for me I hope 
Now I'm heading for bluer pastures 
Where the bluegrass waves sweetly in the wind 
Where the bluegrass music's always playin' 
To the haunting sound of Monroe's mandolin 
I'm heading for bluer pastures
