Eddie Rabbitt - Rocky Mountain Music lyrics

Back upon an old dirt road Next to a swamp full of toads Was a slanted wood shack with three little kids and a mama Papa died in '63 Left little Jenny and me To plant those taters and pull up another tomorrow Rocky mountain music Fills my memory Rocky mountain music Papa, can I hear you playing for me? Little brother was never quite right He used to sit on the floor in the sunlight Play with the dust that danced on the beams in the window And sister had to cook and clean 'Cause Mama, she got sick and lean Sometimes I think she just died away missing Papa Rocky mountain music Fills my memory Rocky mountain music Mama, can I hear you singing to me? Well, everything has changed today And little brother, he was taken away And sister, she married a soldier and lives in Toledo And me, I'm in a Nashville bar And I've never been so far From that old gravel road and the rivers that run through my memory Rocky mountain music Fills my memory Rocky mountain music Brother, can I hear you calling me? Rocky mountain music Fills my memory Rocky mountain music Papa, can I hear you playing for me?
