Lyrics

[Verse 1]
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
[Verse 2]
Rocky Mountain music
Fills my memory
Rocky Mountain music
Papa, can I hear you playin' for me?
[Verse 3]
Little brother was never quite right
He used to sit on the floor in the sunlight
Played 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, missin' papa
[Verse 4]
Rocky Mountain music
Fills my memory
Rocky Mountain music
Mama, can I hear you singin' to me?
[Verse 5]
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 memory
[Verse 6]
Rocky Mountain music
Fills my memory
Rocky Mountain music
Brother, can I hear you callin' me?
[Verse 7]
(Rocky Mountain music)
(Fills my memory)
(Rocky Mountain music)
(Papa, can I hear you playin' for me?)
