Lyrics
Far too many times I've held it in
Appalachia rage in the northbound wind
My mind is growing strong but my body's wearing thin
And I can't turn this thing around
You might see it every now and then
Appalachia sorrow running down my skin
I'm the man that borrows from the man that lends
And I will always let him down
And when they lay my body in the green, green grass
I will whisper secrets to the animals that pass
'Bout the times I know I swore I was never coming back
But I lied, I am Appalachia
Oh I lied, I am Appalachia
Alone I wing my way through winter storms
Spring brought new life and summer down it was torn
There was blood on my mama's knees from talking to the Lord
And he won't let me wash it out
No he won't let me wash it out
And when they lay my body in the green, green grass
I will whisper secrets to the animals that pass
'Bout the times I walked away, 'bout the times that I ran back
'Cause inside I am Appalachia
Oh inside I am Appalachia
Bury my body in the green, green grass
In the green, green grass I'm coming back
