Formado em 1965 na cidade de Black Oak, no estado de Arkansas, o grupo se chamava originalmente The Knowbody Else, e a formação original contava com James “Dandy” Mangrum nos vocais, Pat Daugherty no baixo, Wayne Evans na bateria e o trio Ricky Lee Reynolds, Stanley “Goober” Knight e Harvey “Burley” Jett nas guitarras.
Em 1969 a banda se mudou para a cidade de Memphis, no Tennessee, e assinou contrato com a Stax Records. Gravaram um único álbum pela companhia, “The Knowbody Else”, que acabou engavetado.

VERSE: CFC I woke up one morning to a world that was grey GFC Sunshine was gone and the birds had flown away FC I wanted to be in the early mountain dew GFC Where big city lights are oh so few
CHORUS: AmGFC Back to the land where the water runs free AmGFC Back in those hills is where I want to be AmGFC Oh dear Lord please take me there AmGFC Oh let me breathe your sweet fresh air
VERSE: C I'm homesick for the land FC That I used to plow GFC Please dear Lord get me there somehow FC Back to the land that I'm so fond of G You can hear the birds a singin' FC In the blue sky up above
VERSE: CFC This breeze I long for has tall green trees G With birds you had flowers FC and a warm summer breeze FC Is where I want to be in the early mountain dew GFC Where big city lights are oh so few
CHORUS: AmGFC Back to the land where the water runs free AmGFC Back in those hills is where I want to be AmGFC Oh dear Lord please take me there AmGFC Oh let me breathe your sweet fresh air
CHORUS: AmGFC Back to the land where the water runs free AmGFC Back in those hills is where I want to be AmGFC Oh dear Lord please take me there AmGFC Oh let me breathe your sweet fresh air
