Dire Straits - Brothers in Arms...
“These Mist Covered Mountains are home now to me. But, my home is in the lowlands and always will be”
A song about a southern Civil War casualty in the Smoky Mountains, never to return home.

“Take me to the mountains” by Shivas Headband
Wish that I was on ol’ Rocky Top
Down in the Tennessee hills
Ain’t no smoggy smoke on Rocky Top
Ain’t no telephone bills
Once I had a girl on Rocky Top
Half bear, other half cat
Wild as a mink, but sweet as soda pop
I still dream about that
Rocky top, you’ll always be
Home sweet home to me
Good ol’ Rocky Top
Rocky top, Tennessee
Rocky top, Tennessee
Once two strangers climbed ol’ Rocky Top
Lookin’ for a moonshine still
Strangers ain’t come down from Rocky Top
Reckon they never will
Corn won’t grow at all on Rocky Top
Dirt’s too rocky by far
That’s why all the folks on Rocky Top
Get their corn from a jar
Rocky top, you’ll always be
Home sweet home to me
Good ol’ Rocky Top
Rocky top, Tennessee
Rocky top, Tennessee
I’ve had years of cramped up city life
Trapped like a duck in a pen
All I know is it’s a pity life
Can’t be simple again
Rocky top, you’ll always be
Home sweet home to me
Good ol’ Rocky Top
Rocky top, Tennessee
Rocky top, Tennessee
Rocky top, Tennessee
The everlasting hills of Oklahoma
They hold a million treasures to be found
Golden grain on hills of green
Wave to valleys cool and clean
Too bad some folks have never seen
The everlasting hills of Oklahoma.
The everlasting hills of Oklahoma
Are told in clouded statues in the sky
Pioneers who long have gone
Their wagon wheels still rumble on
When thunder peals and falls upon
The everlasting hills of Oklahoma.
The everlasting hills of Oklahoma
Will live in name of men she claimed her own
Some were right and some were wrong
In history’s pages, prose and song
Oh, hail them now for they all belong
To The everlasting hills of Oklahoma...
The Senate is on Capitol Hill.

It’s a Socialist theme song but I love it.
