This old highway seems longer every day
And it seems like forever since the year I went away
From my home in the hills among the pines
And that little girl I left behind

Well the big city fooled me with her charms
And I ran blindly to her steel and concrete arms
But the fun and the laughter turned to pain
And I never want to leave my home again

Chorus
A little blue eyed girl is waiting
For the boy who left her standing in the rain
I've seen the bright lights of the city
And I never want to leave my home again

In my mind I can see the rippling water
And the ponies slowly grazing as the twilight starts to fall
Hand in hand I'm walking with my darling
And I wonder why I ever left at all

Chorus
