| Lyrics: | (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 |
