Smoky Mountains


Beautiful mountains and skies float above us
They breathe a blanket of air
And as our time drifts away on this small speck of dust
You and I don’t seem to care

There are those who don’t know what is out there
And some search the whole world wide
But I’m not alone, got no reason to roam
Cause I’ve got you by my side

Never been to the Smoky Mountains
Or felt the Redwood shade
Never seen the Yellowstone fountains
Or cruised the Everglades
Never been to fond of wanderin’
Haven’t seen the wonders of the world
Lately I’ve been ponderin’
How can they be pretty as you girl

Though our separate conclusions divide us
The earth is something we share
As the wheel’s steady turn finally draws to an end
You and I we won’t be scared

Cause all the time in the world doesn’t mean much
To those few who’ve found their way
And all the gems on the earth they will never be worth
A single moment away
