Lyric Blue Ridge Mountain Skies

It s a lonesome road, and a hard way to live
But it s the only life that I know
Meet some people, travel around
But home s always the best place to go

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 these blue ridge mountain skies

I got me a woman back home, she gave me a baby too
And she stands by my loving side, and does everything I ask her to

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 these blue ridge mountain skies

Bridge

There s an old man sittin in a rockin chair
He s got the best beagle dog in the county, I ve been told
But his shotgun, done got too rusty
That old beagle dog, he done grown a little too old
And he stares up into heaven
And I m sure I know the reason why
He s thinking 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 these blue ridge mountain skies
