Lyrics
The wind is blowin' through these Appalachian hills
The trees are dancing in the breeze
The autumn leaves that fall are gathered 'round my feet
Bobwhite is whistling harmonies
Smoky Mountain memories
Rushing back into my mind
The sweet smell of hickory smoke and coals on the fire
It's been a long long time
Many years have pulled me far away from here
Many roads have come and gone
The sun that sets across these hilltops in my life
Still finds her way to call me home
Smoky Mountain memories
Rushing back into my mind
The sweet sound of crickets singing 'neath the front porch light
It's been a long long time
