Wished that I was home on 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 but sweet as soda pop
I still dream about that

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

Once two strangers climbed over RockyTop
Looking for a moonshine still
Strangers ain't come down from Rocky Top
Reckon they never will
Corn don't grow at all on Rocky Top
Dirt's too rocky by far
That's why all the folks on Rocky Top
Get their corn from a jar

Well Rocky Top, you'll always be home sweet home to me
Good old Rocky Top
Rocky Top Tennessee, Rocky Top Tennessee

Well I've had years of cramped up city life
Trapped like a duck in a pen
All I can say is it's a pity life
can't be simple again

Well Rocky Top, you'll always be home sweet home to me
Good old Rocky Top
Rocky Top Tennessee, Rocky Top Tennessee
Rocky Top Tennessee
