When I'm Knee Deep in Bluegrass

KNEE DEEP IN BLUEGRASS

Everything I own’s in my old Ford except what’s on my back
I got one more stop before I go to pick up my last check
And I’ll leave a note that says goodbye to that good old girl named Faye
I’d like to see her one more time but that would take another day

When I’m knee deep in bluegrass, then I’ll be satisfied
I don’t care if it’s bottom land or rocky mountain side
Any part of old Kentucky’s home sweet home to me
Knee deep in bluegrass is where I’m gonna’ be

I can see Uncle Bill sittin’ on his porch pickin’ on his old banjo
Lookin’ out across the field, watching his green corn grow
There’s nothing more I’m waiting for than to see this road unwind
With the city lights lying in the miles I’ve left behind

Repeat Chorus

Cincinnati will hear my Ford as we go roarin’ through
But the only thing they’ll see of us is just a cloud of blue
These wheels ain’t gonna’ make a stop in any other town
Until I know my feet will touch that good Kentucky ground

Repeat Chorus
