Appalachia
For too many times I've held it in Appalachian rage in the northbound windMy mind is growing strong but my body's wearing thinAnd I can't turn this thing aroundOh, but you might see it every now and thenAppalachian sorrow running down my skinCos I'm the man that borrows from the man that livesAnd I will always let him knowAnd every day I try to live it downAnd when they lay my body in the green green grassI will whisper quiet secrets to the animals that passBout the times I knew I swore I was never coming back But I lied I am AppalachiaWake up to find that I've outgrown my friendsAnd our seeds grew side by side but my roots grew thinThen one day I blew away in Autumn's restless windAnd she has never set me downOh, alone I wing my way through winter stormsSpring brought new life that storm down its doorThere was blood in my mama's knees from talking to the LordAnd he won't let me wash it outLetras de cancionesAnd every day I try to live it downAnd when they lay my body in the green green grassI will whisper quiet secrets to the animals that passBout the times I walked away about the times that I ran back Cos I lied I am AppalachiaAnd I am Appalachia running through the treesWith my head above the clouds and all the ground beneath my feetOh, at times I know I swore that I would never love these thingsBut I liedAnd when they lay my body in the green green grassI will whisper quiet secrets to the animals that passBout the times I knew I swore I was never coming backBut I lied cos inside Yes I lied cos inside I am Appalachia
