rocky mountain music
Singer:eddie rabbitt
back upon an old dirt road
next to a swamp full of toads
was a slanted wood shack with three little kids and a mama
to plant those taters and pull up another tomorrow
can i hear you playing for me?
little brother was never quite right
he used to sit on the floor in the sunlight
play with the dust that danced on the beams in the window
and sister had to cook and clean
sometimes i think she just died away missing papa
can i hear you singing to me?
everything has changed today
she married a soldier and lives in toledo
and i've never been so far
from that old gravel road and the rivers that run through my memory
can i hear you calling me?
can i hear you playing for me?
