Missing Her Has Never Slowed Me Down

I know I should be back in East Tennessee
I’ve got a little gal waiting there lonely as could be
I’m out here on this highway I was born to roam
I’ve always been a drifter this highway is my home

Chorus
Missing her has never slowed me down
I get tired of the city catch a ride to another town
But I know I should be back in East Tennessee
I wonder just how long she’ll be waiting there for me

Sometimes I get lonesome lord knows I do
I’ll put my thumb out in the wind and head somewhere new
Maybe I will join here when my time comes to go
Until then I’m on the road again loving her coast to coast

The rattle of a boxcar puts my mind at ease
I always feel right at home when I feel that western breeze
Each mile tells a story that helps the time go by
I’m dying to know what’s at the end of that long white line.
