I started this song ages ago, and finished it, inspired by Kentucky farmers. Look for the song in part of a super cool Commonwealth of Kentucky advertising campaign this year.

lyrics

The days they feel so long, but the years fly on by

People come and people go, but not the countryside.

They say the grass is greener there, but ours is dreamy blue

And there’s no place I would rather be than Kentucky with you.

Livin’ small, planning big, it all begins with a seed

We could travel the world, but home’s just fine, who needs the Central Valley?

They say the grass is greener there, but ours is dreamy blue

And there’s no place I would rather be than Kentucky with you.

I do hear the poets sing, the play of shade on the trees

Muhlenberg to Pikeville to paradise lost, this land was made for you and me.

They say the grass is greener there, but ours is dreamy blue

And there’s no place I would rather be than Kentucky with you.
