On a lonely road I traveled so far and so wideTill fate slowed me down and gave me a brideWe wed in Pennsylvania in the springI still wear this old wedding ringWe moved to the city to start a new jobStill we prefer the taste of coal dust to the big city smogShe said we'd make it back there somedayBut for now this is where we would stayI'm going back to AppalachiaI'm going back for a stayI'm going back to AppalachiaI'll find a wayMany years have gone by and still we remainAnd my memory still holds to that old mountain rangeBut we're old now, our hair has turned grayCould we ever make it back there someday?I'm going back to AppalachiaI'm going back for a stayI'm going back to AppalachiaI'll find a wayI'm going back to AppalachiaI'll find a wayI'm going back to AppalachiaI'm going back for a stayI'm going back to AppalachiaI'll find a wayI'm going back to AppalachiaI'll find a way
