Eastern Kentucky

On a long, long drive, Home to eastern Kentucky
She had some time to think, Of what she’d do
Head back to school, Or climb some big mountain
Tired of the old, She wants something new

But she thinks of her life, In eastern Kentucky
The folks on the farm And the simple life she knew
And the miles roll on, And the miles roll on

On Skyline drive, In the mountains of Virginia
She stops just a bit, To rest her eyes
Falling asleep, She dreams of other places
Cities near the beach, And crashing tides

But she thinks of her life, In eastern Kentucky
The folks on the farm, And the simple life she knew
And the miles roll on, And the miles roll on

Verse and chorus instrumental

She’s back on her farm, In eastern Kentucky
In the fields where she roamed as a child
Thinking of the days, when life was so easy
Cool summer nights and running wild

She’s living her life, In eastern Kentucky
With her folks on the farm, And the simple life she knows
And the time rolls on, And the time rolls on
