lirik lagu dolly parton - smoky mountain memories
[verse 1]
you ought to 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 who said it
but we’d lived so long on credit
and so we headed out to find our promised land
[verse 2]
just poor smoky mountains farm folk
with nothing more than high hopes
so we hitched our station wagon to a star
but our dreams all fell in on us
cause there was no land of promise
though it’s a struggle just keeping sight of who you are
[verse 3]
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 mountain memories keep me strong
[verse 4]
you know i’ve been thinking 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
[verse 5]
oh and these northern nights they’re dreary
and my southern eyes are teary
as i wonder how the old folks are back home
but i’ll keep leaning on my jesus
he’ll love and guide and lead us
the smoky mountain memories keep me strong
[outro]
if i’ll keep looking to the father
keep our heads above the water
while the smoky mountain memories keep me strong
