| Lyrics: | Chorus Oh mountain home, the lord shines upon you And your rugged peaks glow from heavens light Where the razorbacks run free through the bloomin’ dogwood trees And the coon skin hunters stalk their prey at night Verse 1 Granddaddy came from the Tennessee hills With the clothes on his back and a five dollar bill, oh oh Mountain Home Lookin’ for a better life west of the river Got a job in the mine just to get through the winter, oh oh Mountain Home And when that five o’clock whistle blew The boys in the hills all knew it was time to drink homebrew on the front porch And pick Ozark Mountain tunes singin’ Chorus Oh mountain home, the lord shines upon you And your rugged peaks glow from heavens light Where the razorbacks run free through the bloomin’ dogwood trees And the coon skin hunters stalk their prey at night Verse 2 Shotgun house with a hard dirt floor Saved his money bought the land next door, oh oh Mountain Home Planted his seeds where the rich dirt lay Then he prayed to the lord for the sun and the rain, oh oh Mountain Home And then when the cotton plants grew The boys in the fields all knew it was time to drink homebrew on the front porch And pick Ozark Mountain tunes singin’ Chorus Oh mountain home, the lord shines upon you And your rugged peaks glow from heavens light Where the razorbacks run free through the bloomin’ dogwood trees And the coon skin hunters stalk their prey at night |
