Smethport, USA

by Stan Austin, 1981, lyrics

There’s a little town up north.
It’s the place where I was born
And I miss it so each day.
It’s called Smethport, USA.

Only God knows all the pain
And the hurt that I went through,
When my daddy left my mamma,
Took me away from all of you.

Sisters, I’ll be coming home.
Please tell mamma not to cry,
‘cause when I reach McKean County,
there I’ll stay until I die.

Mom and dad were not to blame.
We know fate has funny ways.
I just thank God I’m going back,
Back to Smethport, USA.

Just ahead’s the county line
That I crossed so long ago.
I stop the car and say a prayer,
“Thank you, Lord, you brought me home.”

Only God knows all the pain
And the hurt that I went through,
When my daddy left my mamma,
Took me away from all of you.

Sisters, I’ll be coming home.
Please tell mamma not to cry,
‘cause when I reach McKean County,
there I’ll stay until I die…

In Smethport, USA.
