Intro Verse Singing sweet country music Breathing clean mountain air Singing sweet country music Makes me wish that I was there It's been more than a year now Since my daddy had passed away But I keep his memory with me In the songs we used to play Singing sweet country music Breathing clean mountain air Singing sweet country music Makes me wish that I was there Instrumental Well, he'd lean back in his rocker With a bible in his hand And he'd talk about religion And just how to work the land Will the circle be unbroken? By and by, Lord, by and by (By and by) There's a better home a waiting In the sky, Lord, in the sky Singing sweet country music Breathing clean mountain air Singing sweet country music Makes me wish that I was there Makes me wish that I was there Makes me wish that I was there
