From the recording Appalachian Blues

Lyrics

Nashville to Georgia, I'm headed south
Gonna run these roads 'til the pain runs out
I'll learn a lesson; I'll overcome
I just never thought you wouldn't be the one

Now I'm lettin' go of holdin' on
I'm givin' up and goin' on
And you can never be more than this song

Nashville to Georgia, I'm headed south
Gonna run these roads 'til the pain runs out
Til the pain runs out

Backroads to highways, I'm findin' out
Our mem'ries stretch through every single town
We crisscrossed the country; oh, almost every state
There's just one place left where my heart is safe

Now I'm lettin' go of holdin' on
I'm givin' up and goin' on
And you can never be more than this song

Nashville to Georgia, I'm headed south
Gonna run these roads 'til the pain runs out
Til the pain runs out
Til the pain runs out
Til the pain runs out

Nashville to Georgia, I'm headed south
Gonna run these roads 'til the pain runs out
I'll learn a lesson; I'll overcome
I just never thought you wouldn't be the one
