Goin’ down to Virginia
Into Tennessee
Got a bottle of whiskey 
And a bag of weed
Got a fine young lady
Sitting next to me
And she’s always saying
That she’ll never leave

 

And I swear I can’t wipe this smile from my face
And I swear that I’ll never leave this place

 

Now I’m off to California
Free at last
Time to find my brother
And relive our past
Gonna ride down the highway
Gonna get in my car
Gonna find me a woman
Who can play guitar

 

And I swear I can’t wipe this smile from my face
And I swear that I’ll never leave this place

 

Now I’m going back to Cleveland
Yeah see my friends
I drive all night now
But the road never ends
It ain’t my old house
But I found a home
In all these places
That I have known

 

And I swear I can’t wipe this smile from my face
And I swear that I’ll never leave this place
