Rocky Top (1972) Songtext
von The Everly Brothers

Wish that I was on ol′ Rocky Top
Down in the Tennessee hills
Aint' 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.

Rocky Top you'll always be
Home sweet home to me
Good ol' Rocky Top
Rocky Top Tennessee,
Rocky Top Tennessee

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


Rocky Top you′ll always be
Home sweet home to me
Good ol' Rocky Top
Rocky Top Tennessee,
Rocky Top Tennessee

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 ol' 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

Rocky Top you′ll always be
Home sweet home to me
Good ol' Rocky Top
Rocky Top Tennessee,
Rocky Top Tennessee

Beautiful Tennessee
