Going to my home in the mountains
The mountains is where I want to be
You know I've never been happy
Since I left those hills of Tennessee

Went away from home to save my mind
Forty years and I feel like eighty-nine
Going back home going to stay
Where me and my guitar will sing and play

Going up in holler
Head up a moonshine still
I'll be so happy when I get there
Gonna dance all over them hills

Don't know why I ever left there
Must have been out of my mind
For staying away from the mountains
When I wanted to go back all the time
