I can smell the wood smoke risin'
feel the wind out in the pines
see the way I left her cryin'
every time I close my eyes
Cause I?ve been dreaming of the 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 the 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
