Gentle, acoustic, country ballad about the great state of Kentucky...where my roots go deep.
Story behind the song
You can take a family out of Kentucky but you can't take Kentucky out of the family....This is dedicated to my mom and dad and all the kin down yonder.
Lyrics
That old Ohio river stands in front of me
A barrier that keeps me from the place I long to be
I’ll cross that great divider; I’ll cross it’s bridge today
I’ll stand there on the other side where I was born and raised
Kentucky... it claims me as it’s own
I’m lucky...it will always be my home
When I cross that old Ohio I will see... Kentucky
Though I left it far behind me, my heart has always stayed
In that landof sweetest memories and cherished childhood days
I long to see it’s beauty; the bluegrass in the pine
I long to sleep beneath the stars I always thought were mine
Kentucky... it claims me as it’s own
I’m lucky...it will always be my home
When I cross that old Ohio I will see... Kentucky
Kentucky... it claims me as it’s own
I’m lucky...it will always be my home
When I cross that old Ohio I will see... Kentucky
When I cross that old Ohio I will see... Kentucky
