The sun wasn't even up yet when I left Pittsburgh P.A. With a load of cold steel headed for that volunteer state Got a woman on my mind waitin' back in Tennessee She's savin' all her sweet love for me And I'm rollin' home Got to keep these big wheels hummin' their song And if I'm lucky, by tonight, well I'll see the lights of Nashville through my windshield That old sun is sinkin' down Lord I'm Dixie bound, goin' home Be two weeks ago tomorrow since she watched me drive away And I know that she knows that I've been countin' every day Lord knows, this endless highway sure gets rough on a man's bones But she makes the leavin' worth it commin' home And I'm rollin' home Got to keep these big wheels hummin' their song And if I'm lucky, by tonight, well I'll see the lights of Nashville through my windshield Well, I've got that hammer down Lord, I'm Dixie bound, I'm goin' home Well, I'm rollin' home Got to keep these big wheels hummin' their song And if I'm lucky, by tonight, well I'll see the lights of Nashville through my windshield Well, I've got that hammer down Lord, I'm Dixie bound, I'm goin' home Well, I'm rollin' home Got to keep these big wheels hummin' their song And if I'm lucky, by tonight, well I'll see the lights of Nashville through my windshield Well, I've got that hammer down Lord, I'm Dixie bound, I'm goin' home, goin' home
