It s hard to say which way the musix s going
Sometimes wonder just how long it will last
I still listen to the words and the music
It ain t nothing like it was in the past
We got to far away from Carter and Ralph
And the love of a sweet mountain girl
We re way down below that high lonesome sound
And a far cry from Lester and Earl
In the Shenandoah Valley of Virginia
In our little cabin home on the hill
Stay down to earth, don t ge above your raisin
It s alright if thats the way you feel
We got to far away from Carter and Ralph
And the love of a sweet mountain girl
We re way down below that high lonesome sound
And a far cry from Lester and Earl
Why does it have to be so compllicated
What happeded to the heart of a song
Have we strayed so far away, that ists all over
And I wonder if you ll miss me when I m gone.
