Asheville Turnaround Songtext
von The Del McCoury Band

I′ve been burning up the blacktop
I've been wearin′ out these tires
I've got a rebuilt carburetor
I've got brand-new spark plug wires
I′ve been clutchin′ and a brakin'
I′ve been up these hills and down
Her good love keeps me making
That Asheville turnaround

I've been working like the dickens
Trying to make a livin′
Just waitin' for the weed to end
I try to pay attention
But it′s hard to keep from thinkin'
'Bout bein′ in her arms again


There ain′t a woman finer
Than the one in Carolina
At the top of Black Mountain Road
Friday comes around
I'll pour some coffee down
And buddy, I′ll be good to go

Now three hundred four and a half miles one way
Puts me on her front porch steps
I know what I got comin'
The kissin′ and a huggin'
About as good as any man can get

For two days and two nights
Everything′s alright
Happy as a hardwood tree
The only thing wrong
When Sunday comes along
I've got to rocket back to Tennessee

I've been burning up the blacktop
I′ve been wearin′ out these tires
I've got a rebuilt carburetor
I′ve got brand-new spark plug wires
I've been clutchin′ and a brakin'
I′ve been up these hills and down
Her good love keeps me making
That Asheville turnaround


I Just can't let her down
She's the best girl I have found

I make that Asheville turnaround
