Lyrics:

Its a lonesome road
And a hard way to live
But its the only life that I know
I met some people, I traveled around
But homes always the best place to go

Its a lonesome feeling in my mind
A feeling that I cant leave behind
Carolinas where Im at, and
Ill always hang my hat
Under those Blue Ridge Mountain skies

I got me a woman back home
She gave me a baby, too
And she stands by my loving side and
Does anything I ask her to

Its a lonesome feeling in my mind
A feeling I cant seem to leave behind
Carolinas where Im at, and
Ill always hang my hat
Under those Blue Ridge Mountain skies

Theres an old man, sittin in a rockin chair
Hes got the best beagle dog in the county Ive been told
But his shotgun done got too rusty
That ole beagle dog he done grown a little too old
As he stares up into heaven, Im sure I know the reason why
Hes thinking about that promised land in them Blue Ridge Mountain skies

Its a lonesome feeling in my mind
A feeling I cant seem to leave behind
Carolinas where Im at, and
Ill always hang my hat
Under those Blue Ridge Mountain skies
