Oh for the pillow where my head used to lay

Fore I left to be a grown man way back then

I miss the wooden kitchen floor

Painted brown to match the old back door

In my old Kentucky home where I belong



Carry me back

Carry me back

Carry me back I been away so long

Im goin back where I come from



Something I read one day

Might have heard somebody say

Made me leave a happy home

Fortune waitin in the city

Pretty women just like in the movies

Craziest mess you ever want to see



Carry me back

Carry me back

Carry me back aint nothin here for me

I wanna get back home

Take me back where I belong



Lord Almighty I sure learned a lot

Enough to send me back where I come from

To that old Kentucky home where I belong
