ROCKY TOPBY BOUDLEAX AND FELICE BRYANT
Wish that I was on ol' Rocky Top Down in the Tennessee hillsAint' no smoggy smoke on Rocky Top Ain't no telephone billsOnce I had a girl on Rocky Top Half bear, other half catWild as a mink, but sweet as soda pop I still dream about that.
Rocky Top you'll always be Home sweet home to meGood ol' Rocky TopRocky Top Tennessee, Rocky Top Tennessee
Rocky Top you'll always be Home sweet home to meGood ol' Rocky TopRocky Top Tennessee, Rocky Top Tennessee
Corn won't grow at all on Rocky Top Dirt's too rocky by farThat's why all the folks on Rocky Top Get their corn from a jarRocky Top you'll always be Home sweet home to meGood ol' Rocky TopRocky Top Tennessee, Rocky Top Tennessee
Rocky Top you'll always be Home sweet home to meGood ol' Rocky TopRocky Top Tennessee, Rocky Top Tennessee
Once two strangers climbed ol' Rocky Top Lookin' for a moonshine stillStrangers ain't come down from Rocky Top Reckon they never will
I've had years of cramped-up city life Trapped like a duck in a penAll I know is it's a pity life Can't be simple again

go ice skating
at the

Knoxville all
year round!
KNOXVILLE MUSEUM OF ARTSince Sophie and
Murphy technically
met at an art
museum, they would
probably enjoy the

could get
some
shopping
done at
West Town
Mall!
BIG ED’S PIZZA
Not only would Sophie and Murphy love
Big Ed’s Pizza, but Rachel and Gracie would
too!
Big Ed’s is in the nearby city of Oak Ridge.
It is a long standing
landmark of many East
Tennesseans’ lives
MUSEUM OF APPALACHIAThe Museum of
Appalachia would
be great for all of
the gang to learn
about East
Tennessee’s
History and
Culture!
The Museum of Appalachia is located in Norris, TN. About 15
miles from Knoxville.
NORRIS DAM STATE PARK
While in Norris,
they may want
to stop and visit
Norris Dam
State Park.

TN famous in 1936.
It was part o
f
FDR’s New Deal

THE GRISTMILL IN NORRIS DAM STATE PARK
The Gristmill is a beautiful part of
Norris Dam State Park. It would be a
great place for some awesome
pictures!
IF SOPHIE, MURPHY, RACHEL, AND GRACIE CAME TO MY TOWN I WOULD… Take them to Market Square in downtown
Knoxville so they could see some of our specialty shops in Knoxville and where some of our fun events take place!
Then we would go to a University of Tennessee football game at Neyland Stadium where we would sing “Rocky Top” until we couldn’t speak anymore!
After that we would go to Big Ed’s Pizza and share a huge pizza and a pitcher of Coke!
Then to wrap the day up we would go to Norris Dam State Park to see the natural beauty of East Tennessee and take some great pictures at the Grist Mill so we never forgot that wonderful day!
