It's Got to Be Kentucky for Me

(Tom T. Hall)



Georgia I love your big magnolia trees

Texas I love to feel the prairie breeze

Tennessee you made me what I am today

But it's got to be Kentucky for me.



She loves me and she knows where I am

Kentucky you are my motherland

Say hello to the rivers and the trees

Oh, it's got to be Kentucky for me.

New York that's a fine place to go

Colorado my it's pretty covered with the snow

California sunshine just brings me to my knees

Oh, but it's got to be Kentucky for me.



My flesh and my blood is burried there

I believe that Jesus blessed the briar

Big world I have seen your majesty

But it's got to be Kentucky for me.



Oh, it's got to be Kentucky for me...
