Subject: Lyr Add: HIGHWAY HEADED NORTH (Charlie Cline)
As transcribed by me from Charlie Cline and the Lonesome Pine Fiddlers, Lonesome Pines, Old Homestead Records OHS 90088 (1978). The liner notes do not provide any further details on the song.
Charlie Cline: Highway Headed North (Chuck Carpenter - Jaymore Music - BMI)
I have often gone back in my memory To the place where I was born so long ago Where the silver maples grace the far horizon In the rich, green valley called the Ohio
CHORUS On a highway headed north away from Dixie The lights of Cincinnati I can see Just a few more miles and I'll see my friends and loved ones Then I'll wonder why I ever had to leave
But I've got a little girl way down in Dixie And I know that she is waiting patiently So I'll turn around back to the sunny southland Ohio, I know you'll wait for me
