One Soft Strum Or Light Fingerpicking Would Work Well.Now The Years Have Passed Like RiversAnd I Feel Their Current StrongWhen The Tetons Catch The MorningI Can Almost Hear Your SongI Don’t Know What Waits Beyond ThemOr Where Every Journey EndsBut The Road That Carried Me AwayKeeps Turning Home AgainFinal Chorus[Chorus]Let This Chorus Build A Little More Than The First.KentuckyI Hear You Calling Me TonightKentuckyI Know Your Moon’s Still Shining BrightI Miss Your Mountains And Your SkyAnd Your Bluegrass Waving HighI Guess I’ll Go Back ThereTo Live And DieSlow Down And Soften Again.Yes, I Guess I’ll Go Back ThereTo Live And DieAnd If There’s Something Past Those MountainsSomething Waiting Out Of SightI Hope The Road That Leads Me HomeBrings Me Back To You One NightOutroLet The Final D Ring.
