[Chorus]
I'm just a Smokey Mountain boy
Coming back to the hills I love
Where the tops of pine all bend in the wind
And the deep blue sky above

[Verse 1]
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 cornbread
Smothered in huckleberry jam

[Chorus]
I'm just a Smokey Mountain boy
Comin' back to the hills I love
Where the tops of pine all bend in the wind
And the deep blue sky above

[Verse 2]
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-hunting again
Getting me a big old grizzly bear
[Chorus]
I'm just a Smokey Mountain boy
Comin' back to the hills I love
Where the tops of pine are bending in the wind
And the deep blue sky above

[Verse 3]
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 means for me

[Chorus]
I'm just a Smokey Mountain boy
Comin' back to the hills I love
Where the tops of pine are bending in the wind
And the deep blue sky above
