Been up and down this lonesome highway coast to coast and back again I just had to do things my way had to go against the wind
Cause I’ve been dreaming of the girl I left behind Lord she had the truest heart I’ve ever known and I’ve been looking for a world I’ll never find Ever since I left my East Kentucky Home
I can smell the wood smoke risin' feel the wind out in the pines see the way I left her cryin' every time I close my eyes
Cause I’ve been dreaming of the girl I left behind Lord she had the truest heart I’ve ever known And I’ve been looking for a world I’ll never find Ever since I left my East Kentucky Home
Think I’ll get up with the sunrise, think I’ll pack my things and go it's taken me this long to realize the only thing I need to know
Cause I’ve been dreaming of the girl I left behind Lord she had the truest heart I’ve ever known And I’ve been looking for a world I’ll never find Ever since I left my East Kentucky Home Ever since I left my East Kentucky Home
