Rocky Mountain Music 1977
Back Upon an old dirt road
Next to a swamp full of toads
was a slanted wood shack
with three little kids and a momma
Papa died in '63
left little jenny and me
to plant those 'taters and
pull up another tomorrow
Rocky Mountain Music
Fills my memory with you
Rocky mountain music
Papa can I hear you playin for me.
Little brother was never quite right
he used to sit on the floor in the sunlight
playin with the dust
that danced on the beams in the window
Sister had to cook and clean
cuz momma she got sick and lean
sometimes I think
she just got that way missin poppa
Rocky Mountain Music
Fills my memory with you
Rocky mountain music
Momma can I hear you singin to me.
Well every thing has changed today
little brother he was taken away
sister, she married a soldier
and lives in Toledo
And me I'm in a Nashville bar
