East Kentucky Home Lyrics - Steeldrivers

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 Ive been dreaming of a 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 

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 

Ive been dreaming of a 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 a 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
