I`m just a Smokey mountain boy
Come back to the hills I love
Where the tops of pine all bend in the wind
And the deep blue sky above

The closer and closer I get to home
The more excited I am
Those were the mornings I`d roll out of bed
Start the day off with a hot corn bread
Smothered in huckleberry jam

I`m just a Smokey mountain boy
Come back to the hills I love
Where the tops of pine all bend in the wind
And the deep blue sky above

I can almost hear the hounds
running through the woods
Close on the trail of the hare
How I long to be with them
following the hounds a-huntin` again
Gettin` me a big old grizzly bear

I`m just a Smokey mountain boy
Come back to the hills I love
Where the tops of pine all bend in the wind
And the deep blue sky above

I traveled around and met lots of girls
No matter how many I see
I left some pretty ones behind
I know back home is where I`ll find
The girl whose love is meant for me

I`m just a Smokey mountain boy
Come back to the hills I love
Where the tops of pine all bend in the wind
And the deep blue sky above
