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 other half cat
Wild as a mink but sweet as soda pop I still dream about that
[Chorus]
Rocky Top you'll always be home sweet home to me
Good ole Rocky Top, Rocky Top Tennessee, Rocky Top Tennessee
Once 2 strangers climbed ole Rocky Top looking for a moonshine still
Strangers ain't come down from Rocky Top reckon they never will
Corn don't grow at all on Rocky Top ground's too rocky by far
That's why all the folks on Rocky Top drink their corn from a jar
[Chorus]
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
All I know is it's a pity life can't be simple again
[Chorus]
Rocky Top you'll always be home sweet home to me
Good ole Rocky Top, Rocky Top Tennessee, Rocky Top Tennessee
Rocky Top Tennessee
