Dolly Parton - Smokey Mountain Memories Lyrics

Font:      
Align:    
  • 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
  • I wonder how the old folks are back home
  • But I'll keep leanin' on sweet Jesus
  • I know He'll love and guide and lead us
  • Appalachian memories keep me strong
  • Ya 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
  • Don't 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
  • Appalachian memories keep me strong
  • I'll keep lookin' to the Father
  • Keep our heads above the water
  • Appalachian memories keep me strong
