Wish that I was on old Rockytop
Down in the Tennessee hills
Ain't no smoggy smoke on Rockytop
Ain't 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, you'll 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 ain't come down from Rockytop
Reckon they never will
Corn won't grow at all on Rockytop -
Dirt's too rocky by far
That's why all the folks on Rockytop
Get their corn from a jar
(chorus)
I've had years of cooped up city life
Trapped like a dog in a pen
All I know is it's a pity life
Can't be simple again
(chorus)
