On the endless highway stretching deep into the sun
with an ever growing feeling I don't belong toanyone
and the restlessness of travel is pouring thoughts into my mind
and my eyes are weak with sorow for the love I left behind
and I wish I was, wish I, wish I was on Smokey Bear Mountain

Saw as she came my way; the window open wide
the flowers in the garden were sadly brushed aside
to remember where she walked I touched a minute speck of dust
parting is a sorrow but parting is a must
and I wish I was, wish I, wish I was on Smokey Bear Mountain

and I wish I was, wish I, wish I was on Smokey Bear Mountain

I hit the coast road late at night, stars shining on the sea
my mind was slowly changing;for a moment I felt free
then the music on the radio reminded me of you
Sun shining on the mountain; that everlasting view
and I wish I was, wish I, wish I was on Smokey Bear Mountain

well I'm not to blame, no I'm not to blame
