"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

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
Who loves and guides and leads us
Smoky Mountains memories keep me strong

I'll keep looking to the father
Keep my head above the water
Smoky Mountains memories keep me strong
