Rocky Mountain Music

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 Mmuntain 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?
