East Kentucky Home Lyrics

East Kentucky Home lyrics

Been up and down this lonesome highway

Coast to coast and back again

'Cause I just had to do things my way

Had to go against the wind



'Cause I've been dreaming of a 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 rising

Feel the wind out in the pines

See the way I left her crying

Every time I close my eyes



I've been dreaming of a 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 a 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
