With Love from Brushy Mountain

Don't pick up that guitar, boy, it'll only sterr you wrong
And lead you down darker roads chasing some old song
Find yourself a woman and try to settle down
Pray that she don't break your heart and take to running 'round
But if she does you better let her go
Take it from someone who ought to know

There ain't no light from Heaven can penetrate these walls
Ghosts of men who came before echo down her halls
The birds outside are singing a song ain't meant for me
With love from Brushy Mountain
Hell in Tennessee

Now the Devil's in that bottle,son, just like your momma said
He's come to warm your lust-filled heart and easy your worried head
And if you need a friend, boy, he's easy to be found
But when your back's against that wall he's bound to let you down
You ought to know a good friend's hard to find
Especially when a woman is on the line

There ain't no light from Heaven can penetrate these walls
Ghosts of men who came before echo down her halls
The birds outside are singing a song ain't meant for me
With love from Brushy Mountain
Hell in Tennessee

I loved her from the day we met like noone had ever loved
And I would have fought and died for him if push had come to shove
I found them in each other's arms the last night of their lives
I bought a ticket to this mountain and this mountain's where I'll die

Your momma had an empty heart, son, more than I could fill
It's love that put here in the ground
It's love that put me here
I know I tore your whole wide world apart
I hope that you might take these words to heart

There ain't no light from Heaven can penetrate these walls
Ghosts of men who came before echo down her halls
The birds outside are singing a song ain't meant for me
With love from Brushy Mountain
Hell in Tennessee
Now, the birds outside are singing a song ain't meant for me
With love from Brushy Mountain
Hell in Tennessee
