Kentucky

Everything is changing
Nothing's as it used to be
I feel so different walking down my hometown streets
The people pass but I don't see a single familiar face
Remember driving the long way to Kentucky
I showed you the streets where I used to live
Funny how so many things can change if you let them
Funny how I didn't think this place had anything to give
I'll stay awake with you just to see the sun
Feel tiny in those mountains rising high
We packed up Sunday with a plan to see where bluegrass meets the sky

And it was beautiful
The one tall building in the skyline
I know the way just close my eyes
And this city doesn't feel at all like this
The one thing that I miss

Wasn't I supposed to know it all by now
Have it all together that's what they said
The ones I knew are growing up and getting older
They only live inside my head
And it's all nostalgia now cause all my friends have moved away
But I see their shadows dancing everywhere
And I wish I could return to the innocence of every day
A life I took for granted when I was here

And it was beautiful
The one tall building in the skyline
I know the way just close my eyes
And this city doesn't feel at all like this
The one thing that I miss
It's so beautiful
The coffee shop on East High
To sing my heart out Monday nights
I'll run away as far as I can get before looking back to see
This was everything I need

It was beautiful
All the possibility
The songs that live inside of me wouldn't be here
If not for that place
The steps I could retrace
It's so beautiful
Singing songs on Monday nights
Dreaming tall to get this right
Remember faces I may never see
I won't stop until the bluegrass is right in front of me
