Rocky Top by The Everly Brothers Lyrics

Genre: country | Year: 1973

[Chorus]
Rocky Top, you'll always be
Home sweet home to me
Good old Rocky Top
Rocky Top, Tennessee
Rocky Top, Tennessee

[Verse 1]
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

[Verse 2]
Once I had a girl on old Rocky Top
Half bear, the other half cat
Wild as a mink but sweet as that soda pop
I still dream about that

[Chorus]
Rocky Top, you'll always be
Home sweet home to me
Good old Rocky Top
Rocky Top, Tennessee
Rocky Top, Tennessee
[Verse 3]
I've had years of cramped-up city life
Trapped like a duck in a pen
All I know is it's a pity life
Can't be simple again

[Chorus]
Rocky Top, you'll always be
Home sweet home to me
Good old Rocky Top
Rocky Top, Tennessee
Rocky Top, Tennessee

[Verse 4]
Once two strangers climbed old Rocky Top
Lookin' for a moonshine still
Strangers ain't come down from Rocky Top
Reckon they never will

[Verse 5]
Corn won't grow at all on Rocky Top
Dirt's too rocky by far
That why all the folks that live on Rocky Top
Get their corn from a jar

[Chorus]
Rocky Top, you'll always be
Home sweet home to me
Good old Rocky Top
Rocky Top, Tennessee
Rocky Top, Tennessee
