Well I washed my Mustang just last nigt   Filled the tank full of freedom   I've been waiting on eighteen,eighteen years   And now that it's here I'm leaving   There were tear to cry you know good-bye   Was the hardest part of the deal   So long Mom see ya Dad   I'll call you from Nashville      I got Tennesse in my windshield   Kentucky in my rear view mirror   Every mile means all of my dreams   Are getting a little bit nearer   I got Patty on the radio   It sure is good to hear her   With Tennesse in my windshield   Kentucky in my rear view mirror      Got my first guitar for Christmas   When I was ten years old   I sand "I Shall Not Be Moved" and it moved me   Right down to my soul   That engine's humming to me in the key of C   Telling me we'll be there soon   It's a three hour drive down 65   But I'll be there by noon      I got Tennesse in my windshield   Kentucky in my rear view mirror   Every mile means all of my dreams   Are getting a little bit nearer   I got Patty on the radio   It sure is good to hear her   With Tennesse in my windshield   Kentucky in my rear view mirror
