lyrics

Well its rainin this mornin’
Sun aint comin to shine
Well its pourin down floodin’
Baby hear the rain a cry
Gonna roll me up somethin,
cause the river is rollin up high

(chorus)
Im goin up on the mountain
Lord I aint ever comin down
Im goin back in the mountains
back where I cain’t never be found

So long to the highway
So long to that same city sound
done ran me out of money
I’m powell’s creek bound

Verse
Gonna get back to my roots
Drink from the mountain stream
Gonna take off my boots
Make sure it ain’t a dream
Gonna leave the past behind me,
down in that Powell’s bottom land

(chorus)
I’ve had enough fun and drinkin’,
Stumblin’ allover this town
Gon’ set down i n the water,
But I ain’t gonna drown

So long to the highway,
so long to that same city sound
Done run me out of money,
I’m Powells Creek Bound

(verse)
Hurricane down in florida
Earthquake down in Mexico
But I know back in that forest
Is the safest place to go
Imone pack my truck, head on down to the Powell´s bottom land.

If you want me you can find me,
down where Powell took his stand
He raised corn and cut down all the trees, made his mark upon the land

So long to the highway, so long to that same city sound
Done run me out of money, I’m Powells Creek Bound
