Anne Wilson's 'Out of the Bluegrass' is a reflective country-gospel song about her Kentucky roots and the journey of her music career. She acknowledges her humble beginnings, symbolized by the bluegrass and a cross on the dashboard, and credits God for guiding her path. The lyrics express gratitude for God's plan and the mystery of His work in her life, while she humbly deflects personal credit. The song weaves themes of faith, thanksgiving, and divine providence, celebrating her heritage and the belief that God shaped her future from her past.

I know Knox County probably don't look like much
Through the cracked windshield, cross hanging over the dash
But you'd love it too if you grew up
Picking flowers right out of the bluegrass
And highway 25 got some bumps in the road
And that Jeep in the drive sure guzzles the gas
But I turned that key, packed up my heart and my soul
And I drove it right out of the bluegrass
Some call it lucky, some call it Kentucky
Here in God's country, we call it God's plan
I'll keep strumming, long as songs keep coming
But none of it's nothing I'll understand
How He held the world, helped this girl grow a future out of the past
And He did it right out, out of the bluegrass
Turns out I ain't my biggest believer
So you won't hear me take much of the credit
Didn't even think I was much of a singer
Hand on the Bible, I went and read it
He wrote the story I won't forget it
Some call it lucky, some call it Kentucky
Here in God's country, we call it God's plan
I'll keep strumming, long as songs keep coming
But none of it's nothing I'll understand
How He held the world, helped this girl grow a future out of the past
And He did it right out, out of the bluegrass
Under that southern sun
No matter where I go, I won't forget where I come from
Some call it lucky, some call it Kentucky
Here in God's country, we call it God's plan
I'll keep strumming, long as songs keep coming
But none of it's nothing I'll understand
Yea, He set me free in fields of green, don't know how He did all that
But He did it right out of the bluegrass
Oh, bluegrass
Oh-oh, right out of the bluegrass
Oh-oh
Oh-oh
