Wish that I was on old Rockytop
Down in the Tennessee hills
Aint no smoggy smoke on Rockytop
Aint no telephone bills
Once I had a girl on Rockytop
Half bear, the other half cat
Wild as a mink, but sweet as soda-pop
I still dream about that
Rockytop, youll always be
Home sweet home to me
Good old Rockytop
Rockytop, Tennessee
Rockytop, Tennessee
Once two strangers climbed old Rockytop
Lookin for a moonshine still
Strangers aint come down from Rockytop
Reckon they never will
Corn wont grow at all on Rockytop -
Dirts too rocky by far
Thats why all the folks on Rockytop
Get their corn from a jar
Ive had years of cooped up city life
Trapped like a dog in a pen
All I know is its a pity life
Cant be simple again
