Lyrics
🎵 Let’s sing along with the lyrics! 🎤
You left me for the bright lights of the townA country boy set out to see the worldRemember when those city lights shine downThat big old moon shines on your Kentucky girlI swear, I love you by the moon above youHow bright is it shinin’ in your world?Some morning when you wake up all aloneJust come on home to your blue Kentucky girlDon’t wait to bring great riches home to meI need no diamond ring or fancy pearlsJust bring yourself, you’re all I’ll ever needThat’s good enough for this blue Kentucky girlI swear, I love you by stars above youHow bright is it shinin’ in your world?Some morning when you wake up all aloneJust come on home to your blue Kentucky girl
