Jellico Highway

Somewhere in eastern Kentucky
 With a whole lot of time left to kill
 I decided to get off the Interstate
 And drive on up into the hills
 As I crossed the Tennessee border
 With my thoughts scattered over the road
 I've been trying like hell to forget you
 But leaving you left me so cold
 Somewhere on the Jellico Highway
 It hit me so hard I could cry
 I told you I didn't love you
 God knows I was tellin' a lie
 Somewhere on the Jellico Highway
 I realized that I said good-bye
 If I know you as well as I think I do
 You're already moving on
 You said if I ever left you
 You wouldn't linger in the loss too long
 And I'm out here driving to nowhere
 With my tears and a full tank of gas
 Cursing myself for failing you
 And the fact that I acted so fast
 Somewhere in eastern Kentucky
 With a whole lot of time left to kill
 I decided to get off the Interstate
 And drive on up into the hills
