Bluer Pastures Lyrics - Little Sparrow - 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 arms for me I hope

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 arms 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
