Sweet Appalachia

When my soul wants to fly up high like mist on the mountain
Ship me outta Tennessee
When my days tick down and my clock stops countin'
Just let the rain do the cryin' for me
Somethin' in me knows I'm almost home

'Cause I'm a couple hundred miles to the Cumberland Gap
Sweet Appalachia keeps callin' me back
Grew up runnin' through the sourwood trees
And that's right where they're gonna bury me
Wherever I might roam, I feel it in my bones
Couple hundred miles to the Cumberland Gap
Sweet Appalachia keeps callin' me, callin' me back

Well, I work real hard for a fistful of dollars
But I ain't a-gonna take 'em with me
So just throw 'em out the window, let 'em blow around the holler
Y'all just have one on me
Just raise a glass to the Youghiogheny County ghost

'Cause I'm a couple hundred miles to the Cumberland Gap
Sweet Appalachia keeps callin' me back
Grew up runnin' through the sourwood trees
And that's right where they're gonna bury me
Wherever I might roam, I feel it in my bones
Couple hundred miles to the Cumberland Gap
Sweet Appalachia keeps callin' me, callin' me back

When my soul wants to fly like mist on the mountain
When my days tick down and my clock stops countin'
Well, I'm a couple hundred miles to the Cumberland Gap
Sweet Appalachia keeps callin' me back

I'm a couple hundred miles to the Cumberland Gap
Sweet Appalachia keeps callin' me back
Grew up runnin' through the sourwood trees
And that's right where they're gonna bury me
Wherever I might roam, I feel it in my bones
Couple hundred miles to the Cumberland Gap
Sweet Appalachia keeps callin' me, callin' me back
