《Smoky Mountain Memories》歌词

[00:00:00] You ought to go north somebody told us

[00:00:06] Cause the air is filled with gold dust

[00:00:10] And fortune falls like snow flakes in your hands

[00:00:16] Now I don't recall who said it

[00:00:20] But we'd lived so long on credit

[00:00:24] And so we headed out to find our promised land

[00:00:31] Just poor Smoky Mountains farm folk

[00:00:36] With nothing more than high hopes

[00:00:39] So we hitched our station wagon to a star

[00:00:46] But our dreams all fell in on us

[00:00:50] Cause there was no land of promise

[00:00:54] Though it's a stuggle just keepin' sight of who you are

[00:01:00] Oh and these northern nights are dreary

[00:01:04] And my southern heart is weary

[00:01:08] As I wonder how the old folks are back home

[00:01:15] But I know that they all love me

[00:01:19] And they're all thinking of me

[00:01:24] The Smoky Mountains memories keep me strong

[00:01:29] You know I've been thinkin' a whole lot lately

[00:01:34] About what's been and what awaits me

[00:01:38] It takes all I've got to give what life demands

[00:01:44] You go insane if you give in to it

[00:01:49] Life's a mill and I've been through it

[00:01:52] I'm just thankful I'm creative with my hands

[00:01:59] Oh and these northern nights they're dreary

[00:02:03] And my southern eyes are teary

[00:02:07] As I wonder how the old folks are back home

[00:02:14] But I'll keep leanin' on my Jesus

[00:02:19] He'll love and guide and lead us

[00:02:23] The Smoky Mountains memories keep me strong

[00:02:29] If I'll keep looking to the father

[00:02:33] Keep our heads above the water

[00:02:48] While the Smoky Mountains memories keep me strong
