Sanoja: Josiah Leming. Appalachia.

For 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 can?t turn this thing around

Oh, but you might see it every now and then
Appalachian sorrow running down my skin
Cos I?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 I?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 in my mama?s knees from talking to the Lord
And he won?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 times that I ran back
Cos 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 cos inside
Yes I lied cos inside
I am Appalachia
