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:]
