My heart lives in the heart of the Smokies
The Great Smoky Mountains, I claim as my own
And I will abide in the heart of the Smokies
Mighty and magic, my people, my home

Mine is a heart that lives in these mountains
My blood flows as pure as its rivers and streams
My love blossoms frees like the flowers and the trees
Its hallows and hills ever wind through my dreams

My heart lives in the heart of the Smokies
The Great Smoky Mountains, I claim as my own
And I will abide in the heart of the Smokies
Mighty and magic, my people, my home

God lives in these hills, his lights ever glows
In the eyes of the people and critters that roam
I've traveled about, and I swear without doubt
The voice of these mountains keep callin' me home!

My heart lives in the heart of the Smokies
The Great Smoky Mountains, I claim as my own
And I will abide in the heart of the Smokies
Mighty and magic, my people, my home

The Great Smoky Mountains, the place I call home
Heart of the Smokies!
