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

CHORUS (x2)
