Halfway Back to Knoxville

I got Dallas way back in my rearview mirror

And one hell of a strong tailwind

Every mile I make it keeps gettin clearer

Where I belong ain't where I've been

'Bout to cross that muddy Mississippi

I'll pick up speed at the Tennessee line

If I had to guess, I guess it's fifty-fifty

That what I left is what I'll find

Tonight I'm halfway back to Knoxville

My heart's just broke enough to see

Yeah, I'm halfway back to Knoxville

'Cause Knoxville ain't coming back to me

Bet it won't be long till he's making coffee

Yeah, I just hope he checks his phone

I keep praying he still wants me

And I hope that he's alone

Cause tonight I'm halfway back to Knoxville

My heart's just broke enough to see

Yeah, I'm halfway back to Knoxville

'Cause Knoxville ain't coming back to me

Mmmm, mmmm

And if I'm sorry is 800 miles of highway

My regrets, they're the gasoline

Tonight I'm halfway back to Knoxville

'Cause Knoxville ain't coming back to me

Yeah, I'm halfway back to Knoxville

'Cause Knoxville ain't coming back to me
