Rocky Top - The Wood Brothers

Wish that I was... on old Rocky Top Down in the Tennessee hills. Ain't no smoggy-smoke... on old 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. The Rocky Top, you'll always be Home sweet home to me Good old Rocky Top Rocky Top, Tennessee Rocky Top, Tennessee Once two strangers... climbed old 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 Repeat the Rocky Top, you'll always be Home sweet home to me Good old 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. Repeat the Rocky Top, you'll always be Home sweet home to me Good old Rocky Top Rocky Top, Tennessee Rocky Top, Tennessee

You never smiled at my opening line If I remember it right well you might have been cyrin' I didn't know you but I thought it was time You didn't ask to know what I was thinkin' I know it was late and I might have been drinkin' When my passion welled up And I readied my aim I didn't know my own name I was loaded, loaded I have to say I was loaded You shied away but I hunted you down The truth is a bully and it'll slap you around I know it can be A pretty rough ride When my true heart's kickin' my side I was loaded, loaded Proud to say I was laded Sometimes the tip of my tongue Is the barrel of a gun And it's loaded All alone on my knee with my dreams of the past But my aim is till true and my draw is still fast My heart pulls the trigger It doesn't wait Who wants a heart that hesitates I was laded, loaded Have to say I was loaded Sometimes the tip of my tongue is the barrel of a gun And it's loaded Yeah the tip of my tongue Is the barrel of a gun And it's loaded

When I step off of that train I better sit down and wait Cause a soul can't travel that fast The best part of me will surely be late Cause a soul can't travel that fast A soul's gotta walk Like a pilgrim he stops To smell every flower on the path I better slow down Cause a soul can't Travel that fast When I get off of the road And I'm thinkin' I'm home I try to remember to remember When I'm holdin' my baby But I'm leaving her cold It's all cause a soul can't travel that fast Well a soul takes it's time Like a pilgrim he's tryin' To find him some peace that's gonna last I better slow down Cause a soul can't Travel that fast Travel that fast I better slow down Cause a soul can't Travel that fast Travel that fast If I'm runnin' or I'm flyin' And I'm losin' my mind Take my foot off of the gas Let the other fools pass A soul takes it slow Like a pilgrim he knows He's gonna get where he's goin' If he just stays on the path I better slow down Cause a soul can't Travel that fast Travel that fast I better slow down Cause a soul can't Travel that fast Travel that fast

Wastin' my mind on you. Wastin' my mind on you. Makes my head spin, Where does your love begin and end There's no answer, To the questions I keep askin' you. Look at me like I'm a fool. Wastin' my mind on you. Wastin' my mind on you. Wishin' my heart would've thought things through. Wastin' my mind on you. Sweet confusion, Always changin' your point of view. A fine illusion, Keeps me hangin' on to find the truth. Look at me I'm such a fool. Look at the fool. Follow true. Yeah, look at the fool. Wastin' my mind on you. Wastin' my mind on you. Wishin' my heart would've thought things through. Well I'm wastin' my mind... Wastin' my mind on you. Took out the fool.
