my mind is dark and troubled when the clouds come in low when the bottle gets too empty i know where to go i take the old dirt road in the scarred mountainside in the rockfish river water let my loneliness subside her boots stomp along in perfect time whiskey on her lips she s always on my mind of all the pleasures in this world i ll take the nighttime with my blue ridge girl the day is long and heavy she sets it all ablaze with the movement of her body puts me in a daze around the glowing flames i stomp and i swoon and i reach out for her like smoke towards the moon her boots stomp along in perfect time whiskey on her lips she s always on my mind of all the pleasures in this world i ll take the nighttime with my blue ridge girl well that appalachian sunrise comes through my windowpane and the mist dries in the field from an early morning rain a breeze comes through the oak tree i feel the pain no more with her head upon my chest and her gown on my floor her boots stomp along in perfect time whiskey on her lips she s always on my mind of all the pleasures in this world i ll take the nighttime with my blue ridge girl her boots stomp along in perfect time whiskey on her lips she s always on my mind of all the pleasures in this world i ll take the nighttime with my blue ridge girl  oh i ll take the nighttime with my blue ridge girl yeah i ll take the nighttime with my blue ridge girl
