Intro
Verse
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
Chorus
Cause Ive been dreaming of the girl I left behind
Lord she had the truest heart Ive ever known
and Ive been looking for a world Ill never find
Ever since I left my East Kentucky Home
Remaining verses/choruses are the same as above..
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 Ive been dreaming of the girl I left behind
Lord she had the truest heart Ive ever known
And Ive been looking for a world Ill never find
Ever since I left my East Kentucky Home
Think Ill get up with the sunrise,
think Ill pack my things and go
it's taken me this long to realize
the only thing I need to know
Cause Ive been dreaming of the girl I left behind
Lord she had the truest heart Ive ever known
And Ive been looking for a world Ill never find
Ever since I left my East Kentucky Home
Ever since I left my East Kentucky Home
