East Kentucky Morning
It's an east Kentucky morning
Like so many, I have known before.
And the rumbling of the tow trucks,
Reminds me why, I don't live here anymore.
But the reason I'm returning,
Is more painful than the reason I've been gone.
Now it's starting to rain, I hope I make it to Pineville before dawn
10 years ago today,
I closed my eyes, turned my back, and walked away.
From a sweet and tender love,
That wasn't strong enough to make me stay.
I followed my dreams,
And I left him there behind.
Now my heart is wandering back,
To a love, I hope will still be mine.
Empty faces, a million places I still find.
As I walk along the highway,
A thousand thoughts go rushing through my mind.
After all these years of running,
I find myself standing at his door.
The face that I see there, is one I haven't seen before.
She says that I can find him,
Things have changed since I've been gone.
Now my tears won't stop fallin',
As I read his name upon that marble stone.
Empty faces, a million places I still find.
As I walk back down the highway,
A thousands thoughts go rushing through my mind.
It's an east Kentucky morning
Like none, I've ever known before.
And knowing that he's gone,
Is the reason I can't live here anymore.
Like so many, I have known before.
And the rumbling of the tow trucks,
Reminds me why, I don't live here anymore.
But the reason I'm returning,
Is more painful than the reason I've been gone.
Now it's starting to rain, I hope I make it to Pineville before dawn
10 years ago today,
I closed my eyes, turned my back, and walked away.
From a sweet and tender love,
That wasn't strong enough to make me stay.
I followed my dreams,
And I left him there behind.
Now my heart is wandering back,
To a love, I hope will still be mine.
Empty faces, a million places I still find.
As I walk along the highway,
A thousand thoughts go rushing through my mind.
After all these years of running,
I find myself standing at his door.
The face that I see there, is one I haven't seen before.
She says that I can find him,
Things have changed since I've been gone.
Now my tears won't stop fallin',
As I read his name upon that marble stone.
Empty faces, a million places I still find.
As I walk back down the highway,
A thousands thoughts go rushing through my mind.
It's an east Kentucky morning
Like none, I've ever known before.
And knowing that he's gone,
Is the reason I can't live here anymore.
