Bluer Pastures 歌詞

I was lookin' for greener pastures When I left my old Kentucky home I was chasin' after dreams I thought I'd master So I left the one that loved me all along Thinkin' only of myself and doin' 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 waits with open for me I hope Ain't it funny how you are when you're younger? How what you have is never good enough How the years will find you searchin' through your plunder Lookin' 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 waits 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 playin' To the haunting sound of Monroe's mandolin I'm heading for bluer pastures
