[Dolly Parton - Bluer Pastures lyrics]
I was looking for greener pastures
When I left my old Kentucky home
I was chasing after dreams
I thought I'd master
So I left the one that loved me all along
Thinking only of myself and doing 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 wait's with open for me I hope
Isn't it funny how you
Are when you're younger?
How what you have is never good enough
How the years will find you
Searching through your plunder
Looking 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 wait's 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 playing
To the haunting sound of Monroe's mandolin
I'm heading for bluer pastures
When I left my old Kentucky home
I was chasing after dreams
I thought I'd master
So I left the one that loved me all along
Thinking only of myself and doing 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 wait's with open for me I hope
Isn't it funny how you
Are when you're younger?
How what you have is never good enough
How the years will find you
Searching through your plunder
Looking 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 wait's 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 playing
To the haunting sound of Monroe's mandolin
I'm heading for bluer pastures
