lyrics

© 2011 music & lyrics by Diane Durrett

It was the troubadour in me that rambled
Needed always somewhere to roam
I broke your heart and I fell to pieces
The day I left our Georgia home
But I vowed to you it wouldn’t be forever
That some day I would find my way
Down Alan Jackson Highway

You were my first love, my high school sweetheart
I never set out to do you wrong
I was singing songs to the cowboys
I guess I had a lot to learn
But when I closed my eyes in the middle of the night
I knew someday I would find my way
Down Alan Jackson Highway

Where the trains still blow and the deer still run
You can hear the church bells ring, on Sunday mornin’
Where the screen door squeaks and the sparrows sing
Where I left my heart that September day
Down Alan Jackson Highway

I paid my dues in the honkytonks on Broadway
There was nothing wrong with living my dream
But as time went on I realized
It was you that was missing
I knew in my heart it wouldn’t be forever
That some day I would find my way
Down Alan Jackson Highway

Where the trains still blow and the deer still run
You can hear the church bells ring, on Sunday mornin’
Where the screen door squeaks and the sparrows sing
Where I left my heart that September day
Down Alan Jackson Highway

I can almost see those fields of green
And you reaching out to me
Oh baby baby that’s where I belong
I’m comin’ home

Where the trains still blow and the deer still run
Where the Sunday pickers play country tunes
On the town square where Magnolias bloom
Where I left my heart that September day
Down Alan Jackson Highway

Alan Jackson Highway
Down Alan Jackson Highway
Down Alan Jackson Highway
