There's a path back in the mountains To that one room house, where I was born Even now the memories linger My mama's smile so soft and warm Lonesome pine I can hear you calling Calling me back to my home Where the fox and hound through the hills are roaming Lonesome pine calling me home It's been so long since I left that cabin In search of wealth fortune and fame Late at night when I'm alone and lonely I still hear my daddy call my name Someday soon I'm gonna travel Back to the land that I love best In the stillness of the mountains I will find sweet peace and rest

It may look easy When you look at me But it took years of effort To become the mess that you see Now what kind of woman Take you for a ride Down the rattlesnake highway An' leave you busted up inside All busted up inside Smiles like a cobra With her rattlesnake eyes 'N leave you for dead on the highway Just mumblin' at the sky She did me wrong She did me wrong She did me wrong Tell me... she did me Smiles like a cobra With her rattlesnake eyes 'N leave you for dead on the highway Just mumblin' at the sky Now she did me wrong She did me so wrong She did me wrong You know she did me so wrong Get me outta here

In my Prevost Headin' down to Alabama I got a three night run We're gonna kick it off in Birmingham Headlights, wide lines Flying down 65 Tryna catch a few hours sleep Tomorrow comes, show time That's when I know I'm Living that neon dream Oh, I got the boys And the band And a one night stand Waiting on us down the road We're gonna load it in Crank it to 10 Whiskey shots at 2 a.m. And off to another show And then it's back to my baby for A couple days But I can only stay for so long 'Til that Honky Talk Highway's calling me home Rolling into Mobile Name on the marquee sign Waving at the women that are standing in the ticket line Well point me to the stage I know that's the only place I'm ever gonna wanna be Smoky bars, guitars Breakin' all the girls hearts That's the only life for me Oh, I got the boys And the band And a one night stand Waiting on us down the road We're gonna load it in Crank it to 10 Whiskey shots at 2 a.m. And off to another show And then it's back to my baby for A couple days But I can only stay for so long 'Til that Honky Talk Highway's calling me home Oh, I got the boys And the band And a one night stand Waiting on us down the road We're gonna load it in Crank it to 10 Whiskey shots at 2 a.m. And off to another show And then it's back to my baby for A couple days But I can only stay for so long 'Til that Honky Talk Highway's calling me home 'Til that Honky Talk Highway's calling me home, uh!
