[Chorus]
Sing me a song of the Smoky Mountains
And I'll be home by the sun
Get up and dance, while the fiddle is shoutin'
'Cause darlin', my work is almost done

[Verse]
I need to get back where the corn don't grow
Where the mockbird fly when the sun sets low
It's a simple life, but the only way I know
Where the hound dogs chase them squirrels around
All up a tree, chill shoots them down
And the moonshine still still sits behind that rope
Yeah baby, I know you get real tired of me
Livin' this life in these tense times
Even though you know these songs are all about you
And I don't give a damn do whatever it takes
To get back to you, see your face
If the bus breaks down, hell, I'll just start runnin'

[Chorus]
Sing me a song of the Smoky Mountains
And I'll be home by the sun
Get up and dance, while the fiddle is shoutin'
'Cause darlin', my work is almost done
[Post-Chorus]
Yeah, my work's almost done

[Outro]
Baby, wait up for me
Baby, wait up for me
I know it's been too long
Yeah, but darlin', don't fall asleep
So baby, wait up for me
