lyrics

Old Kentucky
Mallory Graham & Scott Tyler

I don’t cry for your Old Kentucky,
I don’t pine for your Streets of Gold.
There’s a road that doesn’t want me,
And a road that will lead me home.

You can build your home by the ocean,
Or beneath the white pine trees.
May your saltgrass blow free and your lilacs be sweet--
And spare a wandering thought for me.

I watch the geese fly out to meet you
And someday I’ll be there, too.
It’s a home that’s made of red clay,
And the changing of the moon.

Go and build your home in the mountains,
Dreaming of the roiling sea.
May your saltgrass blow free and your lilacs be sweet,
And spare a wandering thought for me.

I’ll call from the shaded valley
Before the first year’s frost.
If the Honeybells grow heavy,
You’ll know that I’ve been lost.

I don’t cry for your Old Kentucky.
I don’t cry for your Old Kentucky.
I don’t cry for your Old Kentucky.
