I wanna take a back road
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 playground
I said into the red playground

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
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 that fall on Tennessee

You're a Rocky Mountain ranger
I'm a coach 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 promise land
Oh, I'm in the promise land

From the fields of West Virginia
Til I'm heading 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 heading 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
