Never been anywhere south of the Delaware Never been through Kalamazoo Never been to Timbuktu
Living is fantasy, traveling mentally Making up tunes in hotel rooms 'Bout places I've never been to
Though I've never crooned under a Kentucky moon
I had my dream, Kentucky moon But it's only moon dreams From songs, films and TV But I can visualize what I've never seen But I had my dream, Kentucky moon
Route 66 to me is still a mystery And Ohio, too Went Chicago blue down to St. Louie blues (?)
Never been anywhere south of the Delaware Never been through Kalamazoo Never been to Timbuktu
But I can visualize what I've never seen So I sit and dream, Kentucky moon
As I sit by a screen But it's just imagery From songs, films and TV But I can visualize what I've never seen So I sit and dream, Kentucky moon
