Lyrics
APPALACHIAN BOY
Fran Powers ? BMI Dave Simons - BMI
Chorus 1:
Appala?, APPALACHIAN BOY
Makin? your way
Makin? your mark, now boy.
You?re travelin? the land with a banjo in your hands
Appalachia?, you?re an APPALACHIAN BOY.
Verse 1:
Born and raised in West Virginia
But you don?t live there now
Had to move to Music City to play your dream somehow.
You remember golden mornings running past the old grist mill,
Your footsteps were slinging dust in time.
Songs are burning in your mind
You will always hear the rhythm till you die.
Chorus 2:
Appala?, APPALACHIAN BOY
Makin? your way
Makin? your mark, now boy.
You?re travelin? the land with a banjo in your hands
Appalachia?, you?re an APPALACHIAN BOY.
Verse 2:
You remember nights so long, when you picked your banjo until dawn,
We wondered, did you ever sleep?
Walked to school in hand-me-downs
But you always knew somehow you?d make it,
And you did.
Repeat chorus as above and out.
