Doe Mountain

 In my mind, I go back to Doe Mountain; 
Appalachian, Virginia mountain land. 
Wild and free, and up past the tree line; 
Standing there, I think you’d understand.

And I know, it’s the best part of me; 
Good and true, a precious memory. 
Those sweet hills, well they’re my destiny, 
There I’m free, there I’m free.

When times are bad, I go back to Doe Mountain; 
It never fails to bring a smile to my face. 
It has this powerful hold over me; 
That time and distance just cannot erase. 

And I know, it’s the best part of me; 
Good and true, a precious memory. 
Those sweet hills, well they’re my destiny, 
There I’m free, there I’m free.

When my time comes, take me back to Doe Mountain; 
Climb the mountain, and find the oldest tree. 
Smell the mountain, honeysuckle and the forest; 
Close your eyes, and say goodbye to me. 

And I know, it’s the best part of me; 
Good and true, a precious memory. 
Those sweet hills, well they’re my destiny, 
There I’m free, there I’m free.
