Blue Ridge Mountain Sky (Live from the Garden State 1981)

It's a lonesome road

And a hard way to live

But it's the only life that I know

I meet some people, I travel around

But home's always the best place to go

It's a lonesome feeling in my mind

A feeling that I can't leave behind

Carolina's where I'm at

And I'll always hang my hat

Under those Blue Ridge Mountain skies

Well I got me a woman back home

She gave me a baby, too

And she stands by my loving side

And does anything I ask her to

And it's a lonesome feeling in my mind

A feeling that I can't leave behind

Carolina's where I'm at

And I'll always hang my hat

Under those Blue Ridge Mountain skies

There's an old man a-sittin' in a rockin' chair

He's got the best beagle dog in the county I've been told

But his shotgun a-done got too rusty

That ole beagle dog he done grown a little too old

As he stares up into heaven, I'm sure I know the reason why

He's a-thinkin' about that promised land in them Blue Ridge Mountain skies

And it's a lonesome feeling in my mind

A feeling I can't seem to leave behind

Carolina's where I'm at

And I'll always hang my hat

Under those Blue Ridge Mountain skies
