  • 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

    So we headed out to find our promised land

    Just poor Smoky Mountains farm folk

    With nothing more than high hopes

    As 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 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 the 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 they're 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
    He'll love and guide and lead us
    The Smoky Mountains memories keep me strong

    I'll keep looking to the father

    Keep our heads above the water
    The Smoky Mountains memories keep me strong
