Eastern Mountain Time Songtext
von Tony Justice

I′m gonna down this cup of coffee, burn cigarette
I'm gonna find a way to get this day started yet
There′s a million miles ahead of me 'til I get back to Tennessee
This old truck knows the way to where I long to be

I'm gonna drive back to your arms
Hold you all night long
′Cause after all the catching up
That′s the best part of being gone
Where the sun comes up at ten
And it goes down at two
Set the clock back another time for me and you
We'll get lost in the shadow of the Smokies
Beneath those southern pines
Back on eastern mountain time


That Frisco Bay will take your breath away this time of year
And the snow up on the rockies made me wish you were here
′Cause you're what keeps me moving on
Right back to where I belong
And these 18 wheels are humming
That old homesick song

I′m gonna drive back to your arms
And hold you all night long
'Cause after all the catching up
That′s the best part of being gone
Where the sun comes up at ten
And it goes back down until
I set the clock back another time for me and you
We'll get lost in the shadow of the smokies
Beneath those southern pines
Back on eastern mountain time


I'm gonna drive back to your arms
And hold you all night long
′Cause after all the catching up
That′s the best part of being gone
Where the sun comes up at ten
And it goes back until
I set the clock back another time for me and you
We'll get lost in the shadow of the smokies
Beneath those southern pines
Back on eastern mountain time

Back on eastern mountain time
Back on eastern mountain time
We get lost in the smokies
Back on eastern mountain time
We get lost in the smokies
Back on eastern mountain time
