Frist time I saw fire on the mountain

Fell in love with them Carolina trees

painted leaves of gold and vermillion

I-40's been good to me

Just west of Memphis the roads get bumpy

Flat land and farms for miles to see

It ain't much but it feels like family

I-40's been good to me

I-40's been good to me

And up and down that stretch of road

through rains of Spring and snows of Winter

Sometimes just me and bag of cloths 

Til I found myself right there in the center

Highway running right around the city

Taking me home 5 nights a week

Evening drive with a view so pretty

I-40's been good to me

And up and down that stretch of road 

through rains of Spring and snows of Winter 

Sometimes just me and bag of cloths  

Til I found myself right there in the center 

Highway running right around the city 

Taking me home 5 nights a week 

Evening drive with a view so pretty 

I-40's been good to me

I-40's been good to me

Taking me home where I want to be

I-40's been good to me
