I wanna take a backroad through the Bama pines
Leaning on your shoulder, won't you kiss my hands tonight?
Won't you kiss my hands tonight?
This flame is slowly rising, it's burning Georgia down
Follow this love through the dark into the red clay ground
I said into the red clay ground

Like the Mississippi, I'm coming around the bend
I can't tell you where it goes, but I know it'll never end
Lord, I know it'll never end

My heart's in Carolina, I hope to get there soon
But I'm a princess playing patient like a magnolia in bloom
Like a magnolia in bloom
I know you're gonna miss me
when I'm off playing these strings
But I'm falling for you quickly
like the stars fall on Tennessee
Stars fall on Tennessee

You're a Rocky Mountain Ranger, I'm a coat you have to mend
But I'll keep you warm as you go, this road, it'll never end
Lord, I know it'll never end

Like a fiddle out in Texas, boy, you make the band
When I'm riding on your range
I feel I'm in the promised land
Oh, I'm in the promised land

From the fields of West Virginia 'til I'm headed west again
This road we roam, I love it so, and I know it'll never end
Lord, I know it'll never end
From the fields of West Virginia 'til I'm headed west again
This road we roam, I love it so, and I know it'll never end
Lord, I know it'll never end
Boy, I know it'll never end
