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 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 cause mama she got sick and lean
Sometimes I think she just got a way missin' papa

Rocky Mountain music fills my memory with you
Rocky Mountain music mama can I hear you singin' to me

Well everything 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 and I've never been so far
From that old gravel road and the rivers that run through my mem'ry

Rocky Mountain music fills my memory with you
Rocky Mountain music brother can I hear you callin' to me

Rocky Mountain music fills my memory with you
Rocky Mountain music papa can I hear you playin' for me
