My Kentucky friend Dance a song for me Make it high and heard above the rain That's falling so free We've been gone so long Longer than we've known It seem to me It's my way home Watching greyhounds roll Through the giant dawn I can see it all the way today It goes on and on Still the lady cries How she's so alone 'Til longing dies It's my way home Lost in a dream Where windows open out on stars Reaching to touch And touching what was almost ours Hey Kentucky friend Moonlight on your skin Rising from a dream you're nothing more Than what you pretend We've been gone so long Longer than we've known It's over now It's my way home It's over now It's my way home
