Intro: Back up on an old dirt road next to a swamp full of toads was a slanted wood shack with three little kids and a mama Papa died in '63 left little Jimmy and me to plant those tata's and pull up another tomorrow Rocky Mountain music fills my memory Rocky Mountain music papa can I hear you playing for me Little brother was never quite right he use to sit on the floor in the sunlight play with the dust that danced on the beams in the window Sister had to cook and clean cause mama, she got sick and mean sometimes I think she just died away missin' papa *Chorus* Rocky Mountain music fills my memory Rocky Mountain music mama can I hear you singing to me Well everything has changed today little brother he was taken away and sister, she married a soldier and lives in Toledo and me, I'm in a Nashville bar and I've never been so far from that old gravel road and the rivers that run through my memory *Chorus* Rocky Mountain music fills my memory Rocky Mountain music brother can I hear you callin' me Rocky Mountain music fills my memory Rocky Mountain music papa can I hear you playing for me
