Smoky Mountain Way by Craig 'Smoky' Roberts


2019 marks the 85th anniversary of

Smoky Mountains National Park, 

established by an act of Congress

on June 15, 1934. 


"As a poet & tunesmith, one of my favorite compositions is Smoky Mountain Way. I was inspired to write about the natural wonder of this part of America and hope my song captures the experience we all feel when being one with nature."

Great Smoky Mountains hear my song

It's about the love you gave to me each day

And nighttime around the fire light

You've given me the sight to see along the way.

Walkin' through you, boundary to boundary, learning the trail

If this is the earth, devil's domain,

Lord, Lord what must paradise be?

You can be there, listen while you pray, Smoky Mountain way.


Great Smoky Mountains let me hear you sing

Of rhododendron blooming in the spring

And as summer fades to fall, the wonder of it all

What will the winter bring?

Place a log upon the fire, & fill me with desire 

To be with you every day

If this is the earth, devil's domain

Lord, Lord what must paradise be?

You can be there, listen while you pray, Smoky Mountain way.
