Lyrics:
From a cabin in the Smokies, a pure voice took to the air
Fourth of twelve, with not much money, but a lot of love to share
Singin' 'bout a special coat, stitched with a mother's hand
And a little dog named Cracker Jack, the best friend in the land

With a homemade guitar you chased your dreams,
Patching up the broken parts, bursting at the seams.

Stitched with love, you made your way and sang your honest song,
You showed the world a real heart is where everyone belongs.
You walked a path of kindness, you proved that you were strong,
And brought us all together, where we knew we'd get along.

Then the silver screen came calling, working "9 to 5"
You showed the world a woman could do more than just survive
Always searching for the good, a "Seeker" through and through
Even lost a look-alike contest, 'cause no one looks like you

You wrote about Jolene, with a captivating style,
And how a simple country girl could make the whole world smile.

Stitched with love, you made your way and sang your honest song,
You showed the world a real heart is where everyone belongs.
You walked a path of kindness, you proved that you were strong,
And brought us all together, where we knew we'd get along.

Now there's a park up in the mountains, a place of joy and fun
And the "Book Lady" sends out stories, to each and every one
You say it "costs a lot of money, to look this cheap" it's true
But the biggest heart in country, well, it's always been in you

From a cabin in the Smokies, a pure voice took to the air
Fourth of twelve, with not much money, but a whole lot of love to share
