Smoky Mountain Way by Craig Roberts
2019 marks the 85th anniversary of
Smoky Mountains National Park,
established by an act of Congress
on June 15, 1934.
As a 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.
