Jellico Highway

Somewhere in eastern Kentucky
With a whole lotta 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 been tryin' like hell to forget you
But leavin' you left me so cold
And 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 goodbye
If I know you as well as I think I do
You’re already movin' on
You said if I ever left you
You wouldn’t linger in the loss too long
And I’m out here drivin' 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 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 goodbye
Somewhere in eastern Kentucky
With a whole lotta time left to kill
I decided to get off the Interstate
And drive on up into the hills
And 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 goodbye
