Come on back to Kentucky
 Come on back where you belong 
Come on home my little darlin'
 You know you never should have gone You went up to the city 
 And you came home all dressed in black 
With that big wide-eyed monkey
 Tattooed all across your back You were burning with a vision 
 Burning like a shooting star
 The only time when I get driven 

Is when I'm driving in my car Come on back to Kentucky
 Come on back where you belong
 Come on home my little darlin'
 You know you never should have gone Come on home little darling 
Everything's gonna be just fine 
We got ice, we got a front porch 
And all the girls have big ol' dreams like mine
