[Verse 1]
He met her in the fall of '93 in the hills of Tennessee
She was barely 17, he was tall and strong and lean
They were deep in love by June
Hand in hand beneath that moon

[Pre-Chorus]
And she sang a little blue ridge mountain song
And he'd just hum along
And they'd dance all night until dawn
On a hillside all alone

[Chorus]
They were young and they were free
Like a mountain melody
In love as they could be
Singing that blue ridge song

[Verse 2]
She married in her mama's wedding gown
Bought a house and settled down
He worked driving all around
All at large from town to town
And he'd come home every night
And she'd be waiting in the front porch light

[Pre-Chorus]

[Chorus]

[Verse 3]
They couldn't tell him what was wrong
But they just didn't know
It wasn't very long until Jesus called her home
And he got down on his knees
Said, "God, don't take my love from me"

[Pre-Chorus]

[Chorus]

[Verse 4]
Now he lives there all alone
In the house that they call home
In his heart there lies a void (?)
From the absence of her voice
And he lays down every night
Dreams about that front porch light

[Pre-Chorus]

[Chorus]

[Outro][x3]
Little blue ridge mountain song
Singing that blue ridge song
Sing a little blue ridge mountain song[x2]
