Bluegrass lyrics

[Chorus 1]

I've got parts of me in Milwaukee

And I've got pieces in Minne, in St. Paul

And I knew that I got lucky in the bluegrass of Kentucky

But bluegrass, you don't love me after all

No, no, bluegrass, you don't love me after all

[Verse 1]

There's a saying where I come from

Watching pots will never make them boil

When I watched you walk away

I was boiling that day

I was burning like a hundred drums of oil

[Chorus 1]

'Cause I got parts of me in Milwaukee

And I got pieces in Minne, in St. Paul

And I knew that I got lucky

In the bluegrass of Kentucky

But bluegrass, you don't love me after all

No, no, bluegrass you don't love me after all

[Verse 2]

There's a saying where I come from

Never count your chickens 'til they hatch

Nothing sadder than a picture

Of a catcher and a pitcher

Counting on each other for the catch

[Chorus 2]

'Cause I got parts (parts) of me in Milwaukee

And I got pieces in Minne, in St. Paul

And I knew that I got lucky

In the bluegrass of Kentucky

But bluegrass, you don't love me after all

No, no, bluegrass, you don't love me after all

[Verse 3]

There's a saying where I come from

Playing 'round with fire gets you burned

Well, I'll wear my third degrees

And my heart upon my sleeve

I'll keep burning in Kentucky 'til I learn

[Chorus 2]

'Cause I got parts (parts) of me in Milwaukee

And I got pieces in Minne, in St. Paul

And I knew that I got lucky

In the bluegrass of Kentucky

But bluegrass, you don't love me after all

No, no, bluegrass, you don't love me after all

[Chorus 2]

'Cause I got parts (parts) of me in Milwaukee

And I got pieces in Minne, in St. Paul

And I knew that I got lucky

In the bluegrass of Kentucky

But bluegrass, you don't love me after all

No, no, bluegrass, you don't love me after all

[Outro]

And some day when I go to your old Kentucky home

I know you've got that chain upon your door

And boy, if you unlock it, there's no ring in my front pocket

Bluegrass, I don't love you anymore

No, no, bluegrass, I don't love you anymore
