phish - rockytop lyrics
wish that i was on old rockytop
down in the tennessee hills.
ain’t no smoggy smoke on rockytop
ain’t no telephone bills.
once i had a girl on rockytop
half bear, the other half cat,
wild as a mink, but sweet as soda-pop
i still dream about that.
rockytop, you’ll always be
home sweet home to me.
good old rockytop,
rockytop, tennessee.
rockytop, tennessee.
once two strangers climbed old rockytop
lookin’ for a moonshine still.
strangers ain’t come down from rockytop,
reckon they never will.
corn won’t grow at all on rockytop –
dirt’s too rocky by far.
that’s why all the folks on rockytop
get their corn from a jar.
(chorus)
i’ve had years of cooped up city life,
trapped like a dog in a pen.
all i know is it’s a pity life
can’t be simple again.
(chorus)
