I have made one or two alterations take or leave.




I remember the tears in her eyes
When she said she'd always wait for me
I guess it came as quite a surprise
When I told her that I had to be free
I wanted MY freedom to travel the world
I've seen everything one man can see
Looked in all the shells but didn't find that pearl
In my heart I knew where it would be
IT WAS THERE WHERE IT ALWAYS WOULD BE.

My sweet Kentucky Rose
I'm comin' home; I'm comin' home
My sweet Kentucky Rose
I'm comin' home; I'm comin' home
Girl, I'm coming home

Sometimes we think that our place in this world
Is a place where we would rather not be
We tell ourselves as our lives start to change
That we WANT more AND we have to be free
We take for granted the things we love most
And those ones we hold most dear in our hearts
We never notice until they are gone
THAT their memories WILL tear us apart
If we'd only known the truth from the start

My sweet Kentucky Rose
I'm comin' home; I'm comin' home
My sweet Kentucky Rose
I'm comin' home; I'm comin' home

I wanted my freedom to travel the world
I've seen everything one man can see
Looked in all the shells but did not find that pearl
But inj my heart I knew where it would be
And it was there sitting right next to me

(the next bit is the main prob it goes on an on and on and becomes boring. Ditch it or rewrite something in it's place
Roam rhymes so how about I don't want to roam. I am coming home to you)

My sweet Kentucky Rose
I'm comin' home; I'm comin' home
My sweet Kentucky Rose
I'm comin' home; I'm comin' home
My sweet Kentucky Rose
I'm comin' home; I'm comin' home
My sweet Kentucky Rose
I'm comin' home; I'm comin' home
My sweet Kentucky Rose
You know I'm comin'
Yes I'm comin' home to be right next to you
My sweet Kentucky Rose
You know it won't be long
It won't be long till I'm back home with you
My sweet Kentucky Rose
My sweet, sweet, sweet Kentucky Rose
