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
