[Verse 1] I headed north, to the factory, straight out of High School Forty years, I made my livin, on that [?] But come November, my shift heres over Im going back to that old home I left behind [Chorus] When the frost lays heavy on the bluegrass And those chilly autumn winds begin to blow When those leaves of gold and red lay like a blanket in the hollers Im going back to my old mountain home [Verse 2] Weve all heard you can take the boy out of the mountains But rest assured, they are still in the heart of me Even after all this time of being chained in this old city I still hear the hills of home acallin me [Chorus] When the frost lays heavy on the bluegrass And those chilly autumn winds begin to blow When those leaves of gold and red lay like a blanket in the hollers Im going back to my old mountain home [Instrumental Interlude] [Chorus] When the frost lays heavy on the bluegrass And those chilly autumn winds begin to blow When those leaves of gold and red lay like a blanket in the hollers Im going back to my old mountain home Im going back to my old mountain home
