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...
