I remember as a child driving through the mountains All the windows rolled down and a song on the radio All the leaves have changed into a symphony of colors It’s a beautiful picture that I call my home
Them Tennessee Hills sure knew how to raise me To the woman I am, with a song in my heart My momma sang to me tender, soul-felt music And gospel from the hills is a mighty fine way to start
(Chorus) Oh, take me back Where it used to be, before the times changed and it all got crazy I know I can’t go back But only in my mind The heart knows all Yeah, the heart knows all And I never will forget
(Instrumental)
Oh, trust in the good and love that’s all around you Believe in something ‘Cause we all need a little faith Don’t hold your anger like money in a pocket Because the truth be known you learn from that mistake
(Chorus)
Hold on to the ones that complete your presence And just laugh at the heartache we will leave along the way I’ve got to live my life, ‘cause I only get one shot here But I remember your roots because they don’t ever fade (Chorus)
