I hear the wind blow, it's callin' to me
singin' true love's lonesome song
'cuz old smyrna road's where my dreams long to be
lord knows that's where I belong
all of my tears just keep fallin' like rain'
'cuz that woman is all that I see
and old smyrna road will just keep callin' my name
'til there's nothin' that's left of poor me
yes, my girl's got a heart full of gold
lord, and she's all that I know
but my sweet little baby's been taken away
lord, down that old smyrna road
my heart is pinin'
my heart keeps pinin'
my poor heart keeps on pinin'
I lost my girl
on old smyrna road
mean old smyrna road
ooh-hoo-oo
whoo!
oh, have mercy
I've been alone, baby, way too long
lookin' for what I have lost
my love will find you, and I will return
some day when I get across
my heart is pinin'
my heart keeps pinin'
my poor heart keeps on pinin'
I lost my girl
ooh, lost my world
lord, down that mean old smyrna road
whoo!
mean old smyrna road
ooh-ooh-hoo
