Lyrics The Nitty Gritty Dirt Band

The Nitty Gritty Dirt Band

Rocky Top

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 there was a girl on rocky top

Half bear the other half cat

Wild as a mink 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 on rocky top

Lookin' for a moonshine still

Strangers ain't come back from rocky top

Guess 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

Rocky top you'll always be

Home sweet home to me

Good ole rocky top

Rocky top Tennessee

Rocky top Tennessee

Now I've had years of cramped up city life

Trapped like a duck in a pen

Now 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

Rocky top Tennessee

Yeah, rocky top Tennessee
