Some Folks

In the distance, I can hear them
It's the whole town talking smack
I could come up with a snappy answer
Or I could leave and never look back

I could feel it in the valley
Like my family calling my name
But when a bird is made for flying
Don't you ever try to clip them wings

Because some folks never gonna get it
Never hear the mountains call
Some folks will never comprehend it
How the rivers keep flowing on

I can feel it down in Nashville
Like a Gibson playing Janis
But when a bird is made for flying
Don't you ever try and clip them wings

Because some folks ain't never gonna get it
Never hear the mountains call
Some folks never comprehend it
How the rivers keep flowing on
How the rivers keep flowing on
How the rivers keep flowing on
How the rivers keep flowing on
