Rocky Top Dreams: Tales of Love and Moonshine in Tennessee
Lyrics
Wish that I was on ol' Rocky Top
Expressing a desire to be on Rocky Top
Down in the Tennessee hills
Referring to the geographical location in the Tennessee hills
Ain't no smoggy smoke up on Rocky Top
Highlighting the absence of smog on Rocky Top
Ain't no telephone bills
Emphasizing the lack of telephone bills on Rocky Top
Once I had a girl on ol' Rocky Top
Recalling a past romantic relationship on Rocky Top
Half-bear, the other half-cat
Describing the girl with a playful mix of bear and cat traits
Wild as a mink but sweet as soda pop
Portraying the girl as wild yet sweet
I still dream about that
Expressing continued dreams and thoughts about the past relationship
Rocky Top, you'll always be
Affirming that Rocky Top will always be a home to the speaker
Home sweet home to me
Reinforcing the sentiment of Rocky Top as a sweet home
Good ol' Rocky Top
Referring to Rocky Top affectionately
Rocky Top, Tennessee, Rocky Top, Tennessee
Repeating the love for Rocky Top, specifically in Tennessee
Once two strangers climbed old Rocky Top
Narrating an incident of two strangers searching for a moonshine still on Rocky Top
Lookin' for a moonshine still
Clarifying the purpose of the strangers' climb
Strangers ain't come down from ol' Rocky Top
Suggesting that the strangers did not leave Rocky Top
Reckon they never will
Speculating that the strangers may never come down
Corn won't grow at all on Rocky Top
Stating that corn won't grow on Rocky Top due to rocky soil
Dirt's too rocky by far
Highlighting the difficult conditions of the soil
That's why all the folks on Rocky Top
Explaining that residents obtain corn for consumption from a jar
Get their corn from a jar
Indicating a unique method of acquiring corn on Rocky Top
Rocky Top, you'll always be
Reiterating the emotional connection of Rocky Top as a home
Home sweet home to me
Emphasizing the sweetness and comfort associated with Rocky Top
Good ol' Rocky Top
Expressing affection for Rocky Top
Rocky Top, Tennessee, Rocky Top, Tennessee
Repeating the love for Rocky Top, specifically in Tennessee
Rocky Top, you'll always be
Affirming once again that Rocky Top will always be a home
Home sweet home to me
Reiterating the sentiment of Rocky Top as a sweet home
Good ol' Rocky Top
Expressing affection and nostalgia for Rocky Top
Rocky Top, Tennessee, Rocky Top, Tennessee
Repeating the love for Rocky Top, specifically in Tennessee
Rocky Top Tennessee
Concluding with the specific mention of Rocky Top in Tennessee
