The Bluebells in Kentucky

© 2008 Recorded on Time Ain't Got Nothin' On Me


I had a dream the other night so real it must be true

I dreamed of southern sunshine the bluegrass state and you

we were walking by the river and we heard a cuckoo sing

when the bluebells in Kentucky were blooming in the spring


Heading down to Jayber's we kicked the mud off of our shoes

I got me a brand new hair cut and we caught up on all the news

I bought a Big Red Soda from the downtown pop machine

when the bluebells in Kentucky were blooming in the spring


We strolled alongside Katie's Branch to the Coulter old home place

talked about the hard times and the loved ones we embrace

we laughed and talked and teased the girls and sat on the front porch swing

when the bluebells in Kentucky were blooming in the spring


Later on we wandered off to the shade of the old growth trees

mist come in off the river like a sacred veil it seemed

you took my hand and your eyes replied to some unspoken thing

when the bluebells in Kentucky were blooming in the spring


I had a dream the other night so real it must be true

I dreamed of southern sunshine the bluegrass state and you

we were walking by the river and we heard a cuckoo sing

when the bluebells in Kentucky were blooming in the spring
