David Archuleta - Smoky Mountain Memories + lyrics
during “David’s Day” on May 9, 2008
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
Just poor Smoky Mountains farm folk
With nothing more than high hopes
So 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 just 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 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
If I’ll keep looking to the father
Keep our heads above the water
While the Smoky Mountains memories keep me strong
