lyrics

think about my time growing up on rocky top
i was running wild in those tennessee hills
well i could buy smokes at 12 years old on rocky top
got arrhythmia from gas station pills
oh and once i had a girl on rocky top
they called her trash
she called it goth
well she carved my name into her arm until it scarred
when we broke up, she couldn't get it off

rocky top, you ain't always been good to me
but that's reality
you're just a hill old rocky top
i'm just a nobody

well my best friend in grade school he came from korea
we had to learn fight just as kids
and i don't regret those times we ran our mouths off
but the times we got our asses kicked
the mortal kombat arcade at the wal-mart in newport
was our throne, and we were the kings
but those inbred racists well they didn't like it
when a korean beat them with a fatality

rocky top, you ain't always been good to me
but that's reality
you're just some dirt and stone old rocky top
but one day i'll be buried into thee
so if i die take me home to tennessee

about

MORTARS Tennessee

The part of the lake where all the trash washes up, the driveway at the house show when the AC is broken and it is too hot to play inside, the basement where you have to watch what you step on and the air feels real heavy. That is where we shine.
