Tom T. Hall Lyrics
"It's Got to Be Kentucky for Me"

(Tom T. Hall)

Georgia I love your big magnolia trees
Texas I love to feel the prairie breeze
Tennessee you made me what I am today
But it's got to be Kentucky for me.

She loves me and she knows where I am
Kentucky you are my motherland
Say hello to the rivers and the trees
Oh, it's got to be Kentucky for me.

--- Instrumental ---

New York that's a fine place to go
Colorado my it's pretty covered with the snow
California sunshine just brings me to my knees
Oh, but it's got to be Kentucky for me.

My flesh and my blood is burried there
I believe that Jesus blessed the briar
Big world I have seen your majesty
But it's got to be Kentucky for me.

Oh, it's got to be Kentucky for me...
