Ozark Mountain Jubilee

(Album: Greatest Hits, Vol. 2 - 1984)

I hear a rooster crowing
It's a frosty morning
I can almost see the sign
Going so fast I can't stop
I'm just a stones-throw from Little Rock
Heading for that Missouri line

Don't need a map to get there
You can get there from anywhere
When you're going in your head
I can see the arms outreaching
Just like the day I was leaving
It's been oh so many years.

Let me get on the Frisco Silver Dollar Line
Take my time
And see all I can see
Fiddler rosin up your bow
We'll have our own
Ozark Mountain Jubilee

If I can't be a favorite son
I'll be the prodigal one
'Cause I've been gone too long
Oh how the years have flown by
Oh how I've realized
How much of me is gone.

[Chorus]
