Hills of Kentucky

[Verse] Sunrise over the Bluegrass, a dew-kissed morning glow, Hollers and the horse farms where the sweet tobacco grows. Old barns by the roadside, painted a weathered gray, In the hills of Kentucky, where memories never fade. [Verse 2] Mama's frying chicken, the smell wafts through the air, Sunday morning gospel and Daddy's rocking chair. Coal trains rumble low, through the Appalachian range, In the hills of Kentucky, time moves at its own pace. [Chorus] Oh Kentucky, you hold my heart so true, From your rolling hills to skies so blue. Cicadas singing in the summer heat, Kentucky, you're the rhythm in my heartbeat. [Verse 3] Fields of golden amber, as far as the eye can see, The life of simple pleasures, and good old company. Moonshine in a mason jar, folks gather 'round the fire, In the hills of Kentucky, dreams never expire. [Verse 4] Grandpa’s tales of Derby days, and old-time country fairs, Family ties run deep here, through all our joys and cares. Autumn leaves are falling, painting the earth anew, In the hills of Kentucky, everything’s tried and true. [Chorus] Oh Kentucky, you hold my heart so true, From your rolling hills to skies so blue. Cicadas singing in the summer heat, Kentucky, you're the rhythm in my heartbeat.
