Song Description

Long distance love resulting from a one night atand

Lyrics

I got a phone call from a girl I met up in New York City
I was there for two weeks on a job she said my leaving was a pity
She had raven black hair and Carolina blue eyes
Spent the evening in her penthouse watched the morning sun rise
Said she longs to have me by her side up in New York City

Well what a pleasant surprise to hear from you up in New York City
I never dreamed that a girl like you would ever call this hillbilly
Let me apologize for things getting so out of hand
But you were coming on so strong and I'm only a man
Every need that I have you could fill but you're too far from Knoxville

You're just too far from the greenest state in the land of the free
Too far from all my friends and my whole family
Too far from the only place that I ever want to be
Your loving gave me a chill...but you're too far from Knoxville

Now silence fell over the phone call from New York City
But if you jumped on a plain and flew down it would tickle me silly
We could ride through the Smokies on the back of my bike
Pitch a tent up in Big Ridge and camp for the night
I have nothing against where you live its just too far from Knoxville

Yes it's too far from the greenest state in the land of the free
Too far from all my friends and my whole family
Too far from the only place that I ever want to be

New York nights are unreal...it's just too far from Knoxville
