Old Smokey (Radio Studio Session)

At the same old river that run from a mountain

A ship full of men came

Some were black and some were brown

And in their hearts

Hopes and fears they were counting

When they anchored to this antique land

There a brown man met a lady in a lily white

Their hands were rough but their hearts were right

I was born east of a smokey

By that same old river that brought my grandaddy’s smile

But if i dont go soon the air’s gonna choke me

There's too much concrete cars

And whimper bars Going up all the while

I love people but i won't soon

How can you love when there’s no room?

Carry me away, wind, carry me

Carry me away wind, carry me

The river is tangled and torn

The people are people are looking for love

I wanna leave this wreck and blow away

I wanna leave this wreck and blow away

Fill it with space

Fill it with trees

Fill it with our breeze

When will we know

When will we know

When will we know

When will we know

Know a man said he would build a floating city

Wouldn't that be pretty?

Feet up in the clouds

But tell me my friend, how to live?

What are we gonna do for now?

I love people but I won't soon

How can you love when there’s no room
