🎵 Let’s sing along with the lyrics! 🎤
I’m just a Smokey Mountain boyComin’ back to the hills I loveWhere the tops of pine all bend in the windAnd the deep blue sky aboveThe closer and closer I get to homeThe more excited I amThose were the mornings I’d roll out of bedStart the day off with a hot corn breadSmothered in huckleberry jamI’m just a Smokey Mountain boyComin’ back to the hills I loveWhere the tops of pine all bend in the windAnd the deep blue sky aboveI can almost hear the houndsRunning through the woodsClose on the trail of a hareHow I long to be with themFollowing the hounds a-huntin’ againGettin’ me a big old grizzly bearI’m just a Smokey Mountain boyComin’ back to the hills I loveWhere the tops of pine all bend in the windAnd the deep blue sky aboveI’ve traveled around and met lots of girlsNo matter how many I seeI left some pretty ones behindI know back home is where I’ll findThe girl whose love is meant for meI’m just a Smokey Mountain boyComin’ back to the hills I loveWhere the tops of pine all bend in the windAnd the deep blue sky above
