When you see a field where grass is blue
And everything looks good to you
You're in kentucky sure as you're born


When a million sunbeams light your way
Says 'cmon stranger won't you stay

You're in kentucky sure as you're born

When the shadows creep

You can go to sleep
On a carpet of moonbeams
You can dream your dreams

Need the blanket of gleaming stars

If you wake at dawn amid glistening dew

Find old dxie kissin' you
You're in kentucky sure as you're born


When the shadows creep
You can go to sleep
On a carpet of moonbeams

You can dream your dreams
Need the blanket of gleaming stars


If you wake at dawn amid glistening dew
Find old dixie kissin' you
You're not in texas you're not in memphis

You're in kentucky sure as you're born
