Gonna down this cup of coffee, burn through this cigarette I'm gonna find a way to get this day started yet There's a million miles ahead of me before I get back to Tennessee This ole truck knows the way to where I long to be I'm gonna drive back to your arms Hold you all night long Cause after all the catching up That's the best part of being gone Where the sun comes up at ten And it goes down at two Set the clock back another time for me and you Get lost in the shadow of the Smokies Beneath those southern pines Back on eastern mountain time That Frisco Bay will take your breath away this time of year And the snow up on the Rockies made me wish you were here Cause you're what keeps me moving on Right back to where I belong And these eighteen wheels are humming That old homesick song I'm gonna drive back to your arms And hold you all night long Cause after all the catching up That's the best part of being gone Where the sun comes up at ten And it goes back down until I set the clock back another time for me and you We get lost in the shadow of the Smokies Beneath those southern Pines Back on eastern mountain time I'm gonna drive back to your arms Hold you all night long Cause after all the catching up Is the best part of being gone Where the sun comes up at ten And it goes back until I set the clock back another time for me and you Get lost in the shadow of the Smokies Beneath those southern pines Back on eastern mountain time Back on eastern mountain time Back on eastern mountain time We get lost in the Smokies Back on eastern mountain time
