OZARK MOUNTAIN MEMORIES (Bull Harman)
BY: Dixie Hall (BMI)
Terry Herd (BMI)

VERSE 1: THE OLD CLOCK ON THE MANTLE MY GRANDADDY OWNED
HE CARVED OUT OF OAK FROM THE MOUNTAINS OF HOME
IT COUNTED HIS HOURS THEN HE LEFT IT TO ME
NOW IT COUNTS MY OZARK MOUNTAIN MEMORIES

VERSE 2: BACK AT THE OLD HOMEPLACE WHERE NO BUILDINGS STAND
THE SMELLS ARE THE SAME HANGING OVER THE LAND
THE CEDAR AND RAIN EVER FRESH ON THE BREEZE
STIR MY OZARK MOUNTAIN MEMORIES

CHORUS: MY OZARK MOUNTAIN MEMORIES
SWEET AS HONEYSUCKLE ON THE BREEZE
PART OF WHAT I'VE ALWAYS BEEN AND ALL I'LL EVER BE
MY OZARK MOUNTAIN MEMORIES

VERSE 3: THE SMELL OF THE APPLES WE PICKED EVERY JUNE
AND THE COAL OIL WE BURNED THAT WOULD LIGHTEN THE ROOMS
I SMELL AUNT ALLIE'S BISCUITS, SHE BAKED THEM FOR ME
I LOVE MY OZARK MOUNTAIN MEMORIES

VERSE 4: THOUGHT I SAW MY OLD HOUND DOG ASLEEP IN THE SUN
HE WAS THERE FOR A MOMENT BUT I KNOW THAT HE'S GONE
JUST A RUSTY BROWN COLLAR STILL TIED TO THE TREE
ANOTHER OZARK MOUNTAIN MEMORY

REPEAT CHORUS
