Lyrics

I can't wait to get back to Kentucky again
Out of this parched Kansas wind
Dry air and flat land that doesn't end
And I can't wait to get back to Kentucky again

And I can't wait to ride that old blue roan again
Open him up across that bluegrass land
And feel the reins pull through my hands
And I can't wait to ride that old blue roan again

Chorus:
Thirsty and lonesome for my home
I didn't know I could feel so alone

And I can't wait to get back in your arms again
Out of this Wichita desert sand
'Cause it can't hold me like you can
And I can't wait to get back in your arms again

No I can't wait to get back to Kentucky
