Unnecessary Town

Oh it's unnecessary
Just a speck on the map
Where the trail from the Smokies
Reaches old Gopher Gap
With the sheep in the meadow
And the bees in the comb
Oh, it's unnecessary
But it's home, sweet home

Oh it's unnecessary
Just a small little town
With the stars in the willow
And the moon peeping down
It's almost like a postcard
Done in pure kodachrome
Oh it's unnecessary
But it's home, sweet home

With the sheep in the meadow
And the bees in the comb
Oh, it's unnecessary
But it's home, sweet home
