Lyrics Eddie Rabbitt – Rocky Mountain Music
Text:
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
To plant those taters and pull up another tomorrow
Rocky mountain music
Fills my memory
Rocky mountain music
Papa, can I hear you playing for me?
Little brother was never quite right
He used to sit on the floor in the sunlight
Play with the dust that danced on the beams in the window
And sister had to cook and clean
‘Cause Mama, she got sick and lean
Sometimes I think she just died away missing Papa
Rocky mountain music
Fills my memory
Rocky mountain music
Mama, can I hear you singing to me?
Well, everything has changed today
And little brother, he was taken away
And 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 memory
Rocky mountain music
Fills my memory
Rocky mountain music
Brother, can I hear you calling me?
Rocky mountain music
Fills my memory
Rocky mountain music
Papa, can I hear you playing for me?
