Smoky Mountain Dreams (c) Rick Goggin 2007
V1
I was born on a ridge high above Gatlinburg,
in a house my daddy's daddy built long ago.
I left when I was young to see the world outside.
I had things to do, places to go
V2
I hitched my way out west toward California.
I'd work a day for pay then hit the road.
I was searching for an answer to big questions.
trying to find a life to call my own.
build
I was just too foolish as a young man
the painful truth is all that's left to me.
there ain't no place that's better than your childhood memories.
Ch
Smoky mountain dreams,
Dreaming of the blue haze of her valleys,
and the long gone Cherokee.
Smoky mountain dreams,
when it comes my time to die,
bury me on high, so I can dream.
br
I sinned and I strayed,
I reveled in my wicked ways,
The high price I pay,
is to never see the light of day,again.
V3
Now I sit here waiting on the hangman,
just another prisoner on death row.
I long for the life that I have wasted
It took twenty-seven years for me to know.
Build
That you can see the heavens from the mountains,
you can taste her life's blood in her streams,
listen to the wind you'll hear her home spun melody.
Ch
Smoky mountain dreams,
Dreaming of the blue haze of her valleys,
and the long gone Cherokee.
Smoky mountain dreams,
when comes my time to die,
bury me on high, so I can dream.
tag
So I can be...
Proud and free...
In my dreams
