You're coffee colored eyes
Match the shimmer of the rye
On a southern night where the mountains
Cover more than half the sky
I'm miles away from you
But my veins are still bleedin' blue as the night
Dreams of you
Underneath the beams of that Harvest Moon
I'll just pour another glass
And see if it'll change my mood
Your picture
And a half-bottle of Bourbon whiskey
Will be my only friends
When Bluegrass is on my mind
Your picture
And a half-bottle of Bourbon whiskey
Will have to be my old Kentucky home that I left behind
I left behind
Those days turned into months
And I ain't never felt like myself once
'Til I made up my damn mind
And headed down the road
My life was turned around
Now I'm drivin' down 75 southbound
Just countin' down the miles to the river
And that half-bottle of Bourbon
Keeps me right there with her
Your picture
And a half-bottle of Bourbon whiskey
Will be my only friends
When Bluegrass is on my mind
Your picture
And a half-bottle of Bourbon whiskey
Will have to be my old Kentucky home that I left behind
Will have to be my old Kentucky home
I left behind
