Smokey Mountain Memories

(Dolly Parton)

You oughta go north somebody told us
'Cause the air is filled with gold dust
And fortune falls like snow flakes in your hands
Now I don't recall you said it
But we'd lived so long on credit
And so we headed out to find our promised land.

Just poor Appalachian farm folk
With nothing more than high hopes
We hitched our station wagon to a star
But our dreams all fell in on us
'Cause there was no land of promise
And it's a stuggle keepin' sight of who you are.

Oh, and these northern nights are dreary
And my southern heart is weary
As I wonder how the old folks are back home
But I know that they all love me
And they're all thinking of me
The Smoky Mountains memories keep me strong.

You know I've been thinkin' a whole lot lately
About what's been and what awaits me
It takes all I've got to give what life demands
You go insane if you give in to it
Life's a mill and I've been through it
I'm just thankful I'm creative with my hands.

Oh, and these northern nights are dreary
And my southern eyes are teary
As I wonder how the old folks are back home
But I'll keep leanin' on my Jesus
I know he'll love and guide and lead us
The Smoky Mountains memories keep me strong.

I'll keep lookin' to the Father
Keep our heads above the water
The Smoky Mountains memories keep me strong...

Mirror lyrics:

The Smoky Mountains memories keep me strong...
Keep our heads above the water
I'll keep lookin' to the Father

The Smoky Mountains memories keep me strong.
I know he'll love and guide and lead us
But I'll keep leanin' on my Jesus
As I wonder how the old folks are back home
And my southern eyes are teary
Oh, and these northern nights are dreary

I'm just thankful I'm creative with my hands.
Life's a mill and I've been through it
You go insane if you give in to it
It takes all I've got to give what life demands
About what's been and what awaits me
You know I've been thinkin' a whole lot lately

The Smoky Mountains memories keep me strong.
And they're all thinking of me
But I know that they all love me
As I wonder how the old folks are back home
And my southern heart is weary
Oh, and these northern nights are dreary

And it's a stuggle keepin' sight of who you are.
'Cause there was no land of promise
But our dreams all fell in on us
We hitched our station wagon to a star
With nothing more than high hopes
Just poor Appalachian farm folk

And so we headed out to find our promised land.
But we'd lived so long on credit
Now I don't recall you said it
And fortune falls like snow flakes in your hands
'Cause the air is filled with gold dust
You oughta go north somebody told us

(Dolly Parton)
