Way up in the sky,
a little piece of heaven...
Tucked behind the mountain wall,
a bowl of emerald green
Greatest hidden secret
that you ever should have seen
Tazewell County treasure, where the cattle graze the floor
We keep our peace and quiet
right behind that mountain door
Oh,
Burkes Garden, Virginia, God's thumbprint in the clay
(yeah) Where the ridges touch the heavens and the heavy worries fade
away
Got that mountain breeze blowing,
got that bluegrass in my soul (uh-huh) Living in the valley where
the golden rivers roll
No highway lines, no traffic lights,
just gravel roads and dust
Old barn wood turning grey,
in our neighbors we can trust
One way in and one way out,
the high cove path is steep
But once you're on the valley floor,
it's promises we keep
(yes sir)
Oh, Burkes Garden, Virginia,
God's thumbprint in the clay (yeah)
Where the ridges touch the heavens and the heavy worries fade away
Got that mountain breeze blowing,
got that bluegrass in my soul (uh-huh) Living in the valley where
the golden rivers roll
Just a little bowl of green on a mountain shelf...
(mmm-hmm) Burkes Garden, keep it to yourself
