Pine Mountain

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
