E                      G    A 
Back up on an old dirt road   next to a swamp full of toads 
                              C            D          E 
was a slanted wood shack with three little kids and a mama 
               G  A 
Papa died in '63    left little Jimmy and me 
                          C        D        E        D    G 
to plant those tata's and pull up another tomorrow 
      C              G          D     Am    D    G 
Rocky Mountain music   fills my memory 
      C              G            D                    B      E 
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
