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
Once I had a man on Rocky Top, half bear the other half cat
Wild as a mink but sweet as soda pop but I still dream about that

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

Once two strangers climbed old Rocky Top looking for a moonshine still
Strangers ain't come down from Rocky Top, I reckon they never will
Corn won't grow at all on Rocky Top, the dirt's too Rocky by far
That's why all the folks on Rocky Top get their corn from a jar

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

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

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