Appalachia

Intro

Crickets singing softly waking me to light
Foggy silhouettes against the dawning sky
Heaven ain’t as far away as most folk think it is
You find it where—your heart lives
The smell of autumn leaves among the morning mist
The river in the distance roars like an angry wind
Pushing through the valley as a storm that’s on the rise
These mountains are alive

(Chorus)
Oh, Appalachia—take me home
Sing to me a traveling song
If I die here-leave me alone
Appalachia
Appalachia—will take me home

Twenty five hundred miles of nature’s best
Colors of the wilderness that take my breath
Coffee brewing over an open flame
Beats city life any day

REPEAT CHORUS

Short Instrumental

Where eagles soar above the clouds
Nothing but freedom for miles and miles

TAG OUT
Appalachia—Appalachia
Appalachia
Appalachia—will take me home
