Punkin,
What do you volunteer for? I now have a BIL in Tennessee, going to school for his job. Not sure where tho.
We went thru Tennessee on our Driving trip to Florida. Spur of the moment trip. Talked to my mom on Wednesday night, we left Friday early afternoon. Middle of the winter and no snow down there ANYWHERE!!

Tennessee is known as the "Volunteer State" and the University of Tennessee is the Tennessee Volunteers. That's what I meant by "fellow volunteers". ;)

I used to live in Clarksville (and Fort Campbell). Loved Tennessee and Western Kentucky.


And now here is a song for ya'll.


Wish that I was on old 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 the 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 ole Rocky Top, Rocky Top, Tennessee
Rocky Top, Tennessee.

Once two strangers climbed old Rocky Top
Looking 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
Ground'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 ole 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 ole Rocky Top, Rocky Top, Tennessee
Rocky Top, Tennessee.

Rocky Top, Tennessee...
