Down the road a piece past the old neives house
Where our homeplace stood
Right beside the new river
And Id stay there forever, forever if I could

Up the hill you come to uncle jim’s house
He once shot and killed a man right in that house
And finally drank himself to death
He used to call whiskey his medicine

That medicine almost killed me too
And though I won’t be able to enjoy the view
sure is beautiful yeah 
ah ah ah

on the way out you pass the graveyard again on the right
you hang a left and you head over that little bridge
you say goodbye to that new river 
and you say goodbye to the blue ridge

(F)cause that's where I wanna (G)be 
burried (Am)too, though I (Am/G)wont be able 
to (Am/F#)enjoy the (Am/F)view 
sure is (G)beautiful yeah
