Blue ridge mountain memories I gotta get back to my home Among the ferns and dogwood trees That's the dirt where I was grown Backwoods living set me free Gotta get back to my roots This city life is killing me Pretty soon I'm gonna shake my boots Say Oh my my, said oh my my Getting down to the Georgia clay Oh my my, said oh my my Drinking sweet tea every day Oh my my, said oh my my Digging deep is the southern way Honey, I'm home I am so glad just to see y'all Truck stop highway USA I'm counting down the 50 states I can't shake this moving blues Roll me to the pearly gates When this heart breaks down on me Some place god knows where Tow it back to Tennessee My baby gonna fix it there Say Oh my my, said oh my my Getting down to the Georgia clay Oh my my, said oh my my Drinking sweet tea every day Oh my my, said oh my my Digging deep is the southern way Honey, I'm home I am so glad just to see y'all Say Oh my my, said oh my my Getting down to the Georgia clay Oh my my, said oh my my Drinking sweet tea every day Oh my my, said oh my my Digging deep is the southern way Honey, I'm home I am so glad just to see y'all

I met Virginia two summers ago Up in them mountains, teachin school Oh Lord in a one room shack Teachin the children all she knew We spent a lot of hours together And one day she said she loved me for all time And I'm in love with my Virginia And I hope she don't change her mind. We took a trip to Montana Guess we were lookin for gold Never saw a trace of it But it was everywhere, we were told Worked in a mine for thirteen hours every day I took one look at my Virginia And knew she wasn't meant to live that way The goin' was rough, but she treated me so kind I'm in love with miss Virginia And I hope she don't change her mind Now we're back in Carolina Up in them Smokeys where we belong Never knew why we went away Can't understand why we were gone Been with her twenty years And all those years she made me feel so fine She still tells me that she loves me And I hope she don't change her mind Oh I hope she don't change her mind
