Lyrics
Well your mountains are my home
Expressing a sense of belonging to the mountains of Kentucky.
And my heart could never roam
Emphasizing a deep connection, stating the heart will not wander.
Cause the grass is greener when its blue
Playing on the idea that the grass seems greener when viewed through blue-tinted emotions.

On this east Kentucky town
Referencing a town in East Kentucky affected by the settling fog.
Just know my hearts right here with you well

Oh Kentucky

You will always be my home

Well just as far as I can see
