v.2
Once two strangers climbed ol' Rocky Top, lookin for a moonshine still
Strangers ain't come down from Rocky Top, reckon they never will
Corn won't grow at all on Rocky Top, dirt's too rocky by far
That's why all the folks on Rocky Top, get their corn from a jar

v.3
I've had years of cramped-up city life, trapped like a duck in a pen
All I know is it's a pity life can't be simple again
