Going Back To Bristol (Feat. Peter Cooper, Shawn Camp & Thomm Jutz)

In was Spring of 47 I was down in Knoxville town
Didn't take me too long before I was Bristol bound
I played the Farm and Funtime show with Ralph and Carter too
Up in the Shelby Hotel every weekday right at noon

Cuttin a side with Flat and Scruggs in 1948
I remember to this day the songs that we would play
God loves his children and will need a new sweetheart
And when we were done we'd pile in that old Studebaker car

Goin back to Bristol time and time again
Goin back to Bristol she's like a dear ol friend
I can go back anytime, just like way back when
Goin back to Bristol time and time again

The barn dance in Atlanta on WSB
and with Monroe at the Oprey in Nashville, Tennessee
And the Louisiana hayride in 1951
'tis sweet to be remembered but my bayou days are done

Goin back to Bristol time and time again
Goin back to Bristol she's like a dear ol friend
I can go back anytime, just like way back when
Goin back to Bristol time and time again

I've seen every mile of highway a man might wanna see
Going up 11 that's the prettiest to me
It's the birthplace of the music that's the wellspring of my soul
And the last time I was back there someone told me "Welcome Home"

Goin back to Bristol time and time again
Goin back to Bristol she's like a dear ol friend
I can go back anytime, just like way back when
Goin back to Bristol time and time again

Goin back to Bristol time and time again
Goin back to Bristol she's like a dear ol friend
I can go back anytime, just like way back when
Goin back to Bristol time and time again
