The Rocking Chair
1.
I live in a cabin, set under the mountain
The Chilhowee peaks are my neighbors and friends
From my back porch I can see the Great Smoky
And the sparkling blue ribbon where Little River bends
2.
I truly believed when she said that she loved me
But never forever, least that’s my belief
Now people might say, that I should be crying
But all I can muster is a sigh of relief
Chorus:
I have a rocker of blue weathered wicker
One of life’s constants, far more than a chair
With a touch from my finger, I set it in motion
And its rocking easy because she's not here
3.
She came out of nowhere, a light burning brightly
My heart set on fire, drawn into her flame
She gave what I needed, she left when she wanted
That’s how it was and there’s no one to blame
Chorus:
I have a rocker of blue weathered wicker
One of life’s constants, far more than a chair
With a touch from my finger, I set it in motion
And its rocking easy because she's not here
Bridge:
She sat in the chair and stared at old Smoky
Comparing the stars to the bright city lights
She sat in the chair and she said she were leaving
I get through the days but I sure miss those nights
Chorus:
I have a rocker of blue weathered wicker
One of life’s constants, far more than a chair
With a touch from my finger, I set it in motion
And its rocking easy because she's not here

I live in a cabin, set under the mountain
The Chilhowee peaks are my neighbors and friends
From my back porch I can see the Great Smoky
And the sparkling blue ribbon where Little River bends
Mmmm, from my rocking chair
Mmmm, from my rocking chair
