From the recording Bluegrass & Roses
Few places steal your heart and capture your soul like the Bluegrass and Appalachian regions of Kentucky. This song is reminiscent of the life of a Kentucky girl growing up in the hills and running barefoot as a child. Just another reminder that there's no place like home.
Lyrics
Hey, Kentucky, you stole my heart
When I was a little child
Living in the hills
I’d run through the creek beds
Listen to whippoorwills
Now, that I’ve grown up
Nothing has ever changed
I may be older now
But my love’s still the same
Hey, Kentucky, you stole my heart
You stole my heart
Kentucky, we’ll never part
Break
Hey, Kentucky, you stole my heart
Now, that I’ve grown up
Nothing has ever changed
I may be older now
But my love’s still the same
Traveled near and far
But the Bluegrass is my home
It’s where I’ll live and die
No matter where I roam
Hey, Kentucky, you stole my heart
You stole my heart
Kentucky, we’ll never part
Hey, Kentucky, you stole my heart
You stole my heart
Kentucky, we’ll never part
Hey, Kentucky
