East Kentucky Home Lyrics

by The Steeldrivers

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

[ Lyrics from: http://www.lyricenter.com/e106292-the_steeldrivers~east_kentucky_home_lyrics.html ]

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
