I'm dreaming tonight of a hollow 

With a clear mountain stream

A cabin with a window on a hillside 

Where I used to dream

The moonlight at midnight made heaven 

Aeem so close to home

And it gave me the only real peacefulness 

I've ever known.



And I'm in a bluegrass state of mind

And I miss that Kentucky girl that I left behind

Hearts like the ones in my homeplace are so hard to find

I'm in a bluegrass state of mind.



She had the eyes of an angel 

And the heart of a great thoroughbred

With visions of a good loving man 

Dancing around in her head

And I was the one that she graced 

With her beautiful love

Now I am the one left to wonder 

Who she's dreaming of.



And I'm in a bluegrass state of mind

And I miss that Kentucky girl that I left behind

Hearts like the ones in my homeplace are so hard to find

I'm in a bluegrass state of mind.



I'm in a blue, blue, bluegrass state of mind...
