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)
