Blue ridge love

(Verse 1)

Met her down by the river bend, sunlight on her hair,

Laughin’ like the world stood still, I couldn’t help but stare.

She smiled and said, “You lost, young man?” I said, “I might just be,”

She took my hand and led me home through the Carolina trees.

(Chorus)

Now I’m singin’ high on the mountain side, where the cool winds roam so free,

Heart found a home where the wild vines climb, in a cabin made for me.

No city light could shine as bright as her eyes in that dawn’s hue,

I found my love in the Blue Ridge Mountains — and I ain’t leavin’ soon.

(Verse 2)

We dance by firelight every night, fiddle hums so sweet,

Moon curls ‘round the holler hills, keeps time with her bare feet.

The thunder rolls, the rains may fall, but I don’t feel no fear,

For every storm just sings her name, that’s music to my ears.

(Chorus)

Now I’m singin’ high on the mountain side, where the cool winds roam so free,

Heart found a home where the wild vines climb, in a cabin made for me.

No city light could shine as bright as her eyes in that dawn’s hue,

I found my love in the Blue Ridge Mountains — and I ain’t leavin’ soon.

(Bridge)

Maybe one day time will call, tell me to move along,

But I’ll plant roots deep in this land, her love my only song.

(Final Chorus)

So I’ll stay high on the mountain side, where the whippoorwills still call,

Heaven’s kiss on a misty rise, it’s here I’ll give my all.

Bells may ring, but I’ll still sing ‘neath that endless mountain moon —

I found my love in the Blue Ridge Mountains — and I ain’t leavin’ soon.
