Album: At Home with Lynn [Chart]
(Boudleaux Bryant - Felice Bryant)
Wish that I was on old Rocky Top
Down in the Tennessee hills
Ain't no smoggy smoke on Rocky Top
Ain't no telephone bills.
Once I had a man 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 old Rocky Top
Looking for a moonshine still
Strangers ain't come down from Rocky Top
I reckon they never will.
Corn won't grow at all on Rocky Top
The 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.
--- Instrumental ---
I've had years of cramped up city life
Trapped like a duck in a pen
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...
