Rocky Top Lyrics
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 girl on Rocky Top
Half bear the other half cat
Wild as a mink but sweet as soda-pop
I still dream about that
(Chorus)
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 ol' Rocky Top
Looking for a moonshine still
Strangers ain't come down from Rocky Top
Reckon they never will
The corn won't grow at all on Rocky Top
Dirt's to rocky by far
That's why all the folks on Rocky Top
Get their corn from a jar
Chorus
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
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
Rocky Top you'll always be
Home sweet home to me
Good ol' Rocky Top
Rocky Top Tennessee, Rocky Top Tennessee
Looking for a moonshine still
Strangers ain't come down from Rocky Top
Reckon they never will
The corn won't grow at all on Rocky Top
Dirt's to rocky by far
That's why all the folks on Rocky Top
Get their corn from a jar
Trapped like a duck in a pen
All I know is it's a pity
Life can't be simple again

Go Vols.
I've heard there actually is a Rocky Top, TN, for which the song is based. Any Tennesseans want to confirm?
And yeah... go Vols!!
I'm from Tennessee. ROFL. So, please allow me to elbourate as I just found out what this song is about.
Apparently. Its about murder and moonshine.
@xhailof_bullets Or the 'strangers' climbed Rocky Top, got drunk and decided to move there
