I was travelling in the south Tennessee area staying in a crappy hotel when I wrote this. I think it's inspired by Pete Droge's "Hampton Inn Room 306".

Drove all night through Tennessee this road has got the best of me
Stopped at a hotel somewhere on the Georgia line
She ain't the best you'll ever see Got a king size bed and old tv
But that ain't enough to bother me when I got you on my mind


(Chorus)
Chattanooga skyline won't you take me away
This highway's just a thin line I been travelin all day
Early in the morning when the sun comes up to stay
Chattanooga skyline won't you send me on my way
(End Chorus)

Old Bob Hope in black and white neighbors kept me up all night
I'm sorry that I called so late it's a little lonely here
I know I need to let you go But I just wanted you to know
It's just another day or so and I'll be coming home

Chorus


(bridge)
And I been driving all night
Till the early morning light
I know I'm only passing through
Trying to find my way back home to you

Chorus
