See Rock City - Kate Campbell

She put a map and a tube of lipstick

In an old Winn Dixie sack

She pulled her Firebird out of the driveway

Without ever looking back

By the time she got to Georgia

It was nearly half past eight

She bought a ninety-nine cent breakfast

At the Stuckey’s by the interstate

And she don’t know where she’s going

And she’s really not sure why

But she’s got to try and find a way

To live before she dies

She might see Rock City

She might see Ruby Falls

She might change her name to Marilyn

And drop her southern drawl

She wants to climb Lookout Mountain

And see all seven states

She wants to feel the wind through her hair again

Before it gets too late to see Rock City

Well she stopped in Chattanooga

And called her mama’s beauty shop

She said I won’t be home for supper

Give my love to Bo and Pop

And her mama knew the reasons

Without even asking why

A woman’s got to try and find a way

To live before she dies

She might see Rock City

Oh she might buy a souvenir plate

She wants to feel the wind through her hair again

Before it gets too late to see Rock City
