Buck Owens - Rocky Top lyrics

Wish that I was on old 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 the other half cat

Wild as a mink and 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

[ banjo ]

Once two strangers climbed old Rocky Top a lookin' for a moonshine still

Straingers 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 licks from a jar

Rocky Top you'll always be...

[ fiddle ]

Yeah I've had years of cramped up city life trapped like a duck in a pen

And all I know is it's a pity life can't be simple again

Rocky Top you'll always be...
