Oh, the whispers get old in this postcard town
And the streets are cobbled strong,
they echo the sound
As I reminisce and listen,
maybe I ought to leave
And I know the evergreens are spraying Somewhere north of me
Leave the peace to find beneath those Old seeds of trees,
I'll miss you
But before the sun comes up, I gotta go
I gotta go
Oh,
Appalachia,
I promise I don't hate you But you
can only go so far in a ten-mile town
I love you from a distance,
come back to you on Christmas I swear the
river's rising and I don't wanna drown
Oh, Appalachia,
please forgive me Wish I could take you with me
I'll go walking for miles and I won't see your face
In a town where everybody knows everybody's name
But I get tired,
I get tired of the same old thing
And I know the evergreens are spraying Somewhere north of me
Leave the peace to find beneath those Old seeds of trees,
I'll miss you
But before the sun comes up,
I gotta go I gotta go
Oh,
Appalachia,
I promise I don't hate you But you
can only go so far in a ten-mile town
I love you from a distance,
come back to you on Christmas I swear the
river's rising and I don't wanna drown
Oh, Appalachia,
please forgive me Wish I could take you with me
Oh,
I'll drive on a road I've never taken I'll tell you when to make it,
Appalachia
Oh,
I'll drive on a road I've never taken I'll tell you when to make it,
Appalachia
Oh, Appalachia,
please forgive me Wish I could take you with me
