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 I'm 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 ain't nothin' here for me I want to 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
