Appalachia
Josiah Leming

Far too many times I've held it in
Appalachian rage in the northbound wind
My mind is growing strong but my body's wearing thin
And I canâ€™t turn this thing around

Oh, but you might see it every now and then
Appalachian sorrow running down my skin
'Cause Iâ€™m the man that borrows from the man that lives
And I will always let him know
And every day I try to live it down

And when they lay my body in the green green grass
I will whisper quiet secrets to the animals that pass
Bout the times I knew I swore I was never coming back
But I lied
I am Appalachia

Wake up to find that Iâ€™ve outgrown my friends
And our seeds grew side by side but my roots grew thin
Then one day I blew away in Autumn's restless wind
And she has never set me down

Oh, alone I wing my way through winter storms
Spring brought new life that storm down its door
There was blood on my mamaâ€™s knees from talking to the Lord
And he wonâ€™t let me wash it out
And every day I try to live it down

And when they lay my body in the green green grass
I will whisper quiet secrets to the animals that pass
Bout the times I walked away about the time that I ran back
'Cause I lied
I am Appalachia

And I am Appalachia running through the trees
With my head above the clouds and all the ground beneath my feet
Oh, at times I know I swore that I would never love these things
But I lied

And when they lay my body in the green green grass
I will whisper quiet secrets to the animals that pass
Bout the times I knew I swore I was never coming back
But I lied 'cause inside
Yes I lied 'cause inside
I am Appalachia
