(Dolly Parton)      I was lookin' for greener pastures   When I left my old Kentucky home   I was chasin' after dreams I thought I'd master   So I left the one that loved me all along.      Thinkin' only of myself and doin' better   Didn't care about the grief I left behind   Didn't even make a card or write a letter   So sure I'd be successful in no time.      Now I'm heading for bluer pastures   And back to the one who's heart I broke   To the bluegrass state of Kentucky   Where he waits with open for me I hope.      --- Instrumental ---      Ain't it funny how you are when you're younger?   How what you have is never good enough   How the years will find you searchin' through your plunder   Lookin' for the treasures you gave up.      Well the seasons came, they went the dreams all shattered   While the grass just stayed a lonely shade of brown   Then I realized I'd lost all that had mattered   So with foolish pride aside, I'm homeward bound.      Now I'm heading for bluer pastures   And back to the one who's heart I broke   To the bluegrass state of ole Kentucky   Where he waits with open for me I hope.      Now I'm heading for bluer pastures   Where the bluegrass waves sweetly in the wind   Where the bluegrass music's always playin'   To the haunting sound of Monroe's mandolin.      I'm heading for bluer pastures...
