Bluer Pastures

I was looking for greener pastures
 When I left my old Kentucky home
 I was chasing after dreams I thought I'd master
 So I left the one that loved me all along
 Thinking only of myself and doing 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 searching through your plunder
 Looking 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 arms 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 playing
 To the haunting sound of Monroe's mandolin
 I'm heading for bluer pastures
