There's a place I love that very few know
In dreams I still visit to get through the day
The spring water is pure and the chestnuts still grow
All before greed stripped the innocence away
Take me home to pine mountain Kentucky
Let me go just one more time
Take me home to pine mountain Kentucky
Let me go to a place in my mind
Well I still see ol Henry barefoot and blistered
Weary from traveling in some far away place
But in he'd come walk through that old cabin door
With a sack full of food and a smile on his face
Take me home to pine mountain Kentucky
Let me go just one more time
Take me home to pine mountain Kentucky
Let me go to a place in my mind
Sometimes my thoughts grow rampant like kudzu
They creep up the hills and down the hollows of my soul
And if I'm not careful they might leave without me
Or perhaps even one day just carry me home
How desperate a desire how dreadful a dream
To long to go back to where I most felt like me
Cause I miss the joy and the freedom I knew
All before the world told me who to be
Take me home to pine mountain Kentucky
Let me go just one more time
Take me home to pine mountain Kentucky
Let me go to a place in my mind
