She's a Blue Ridge cradle She's a mother to some And home to the laughter Of road weary ones So we'll sing all the old songs Sing to Grandmamma Road And we'll sing cause we miss her And we're sad she had to go If I could see off this mountain Through the clouds in my eyes I would see off this mountain On the nights stars fell And see off this mountain Through the tears in my eyes I would see off this mountain And the stars fell from the skies In the air I hear a fiddle Down along Hickory Way And the mandolin guitar Like we used to play And down on Dunn's rock Brothers boasting a dare We tell them they're crazy And pretend we don't care If I could see off this mountain Through the clouds in my eyes I would see off this mountain On the nights stars fell And see off this mountain Through the tears in my eyes I would see off this mountain And the stars fell from the skies The air tastes like moonshine In the wind a carnival tune It soars with our laughter But we'll all leave too soon So I raise a toast to family Put thanks in my glass In the arms of your loved ones It's the only home that lasts If I could see off this mountain Through the clouds in my eyes I would see off this mountain On the night the stars fell And see off this mountain Through the tears in my eyes I could see off this mountain When the stars fell from the skies When the stars fell from the skies Going up to Grandmamma Road Going up to Grandmamma Road I'm happy as can be 'Cause can't you see I'm going up to Grandmamma Road
