Rocky Top, Tennessee

Bryant Boudleuaux, Felice Bryant

Wish that I was on ole Rocky Top
Down in the Tennessee Hills
Ain’t no smoggy smoke on Rocky Top
Ain’t no telephone bills

Once I had a girl on Rocky Top
Half bear, the other half cat
Wild as a mink but sweet as soda pop
I still dream about that

Rocky top, you’ll always be
Home sweet home to me
Good ole Rocky Top
Rocky Top Tennessee, Rocky Top Tennessee

Once two strangers climbed on Rocky Top
Lookin’ for a moonshine still
Strangers ain’t come down from Rocky Top
Reckon they never will

Corn won’t grow at all on Rocky Top
Dirt’s too rocky by far
That’s why all the folks on Rocky Top
Get their corn from a jar

Rocky Top, you’ll always be
Home sweet home to me
Good ole Rocky Top
Rocky Top Tennessee, Rocky Top Tennessee

I’ve had years of cramped up city life
Trapped like a duck in a pen
And all I know is it’s a pity life
Can’t be simple again

Rocky top, you’ll always be
Home sweet home to me
Good ole rocky top
Rocky Top Tennessee, Rocky Top Tennessee
Rocky Top Tennessee
