In a shingle covered cottage at the foothills of blue stacks 
Near a mountain stream that's flowing crystal clear 
Where the humming birds and honey bees feed on Mama's roses 
My mem'ries just grow sweeter with the years 
Mem'ries of my childhood are as sweet as mountain honey 
And as fresh as a dew on morning glory vines 
I grew up surrounded by the sights and sounds of nature 
And they're forever present in my mind 

But I'm headed in the wrong direction home 
Headed in the wrong direction home 
There's no place like home 
But I'm headed in the wrong direction home 

Teardrops mingled with the summer rain that was a falling 
The day I left my mountain home behind 
With a suitcase in my hand and a hope in my heart 
I was following a dream I had to find 

In that shingled covered cottage at the foothills of the smokies 
Waits a family hat I'm longing to see 
And mountain streams and fields of green 
And rolling hills stay in my dreams 
But I'm many, many miles from Tennessee 

And still headed in the wrong direction home 
Headed in the wrong direction home 
But maybe I'll get back before too long 
But I'm headed in the wrong direction home
