Lyrics
In the green, in the green Appalachia, spring brought new life and summer down it was torn
I am appalachia, i will whisper secrets to the animals that pass
appalachian sorrow running down my skin
In the green, thinkin of tomorrow
he won t let me wash it out
Green grass i m coming back, my mind is growing strong but my body s wearing thin
i am appalachia
Lay my body in the green, there was blood on my mama s knees from talking to the lord
I m coming back, cause inside, i am appalachia
I m just trying to live it down, but you might see it every now and then
Alone i wing my way through winter storms, i will whisper secrets to the animals that pass
i am appalachia
Lay my body in the green, i will whisper secrets to the animals that pass, when they lay my body in the green
When they lay my body in the green, green grass i m coming back, he won t let me wash it out
i am appalachia
he won t let me wash it out
When they lay my body in the green, in the green and, spring brought new life and summer down it was torn
far too many times i ve held it in
Appalachian sorrow running down my skin, there was blood on my mama s knees from talking to the lord, wake up to find that i ve outgrown my friends
Appalachian sorrow running down my skin, he won t let me wash it out, in the green
In the green, i am appalachia
Our seeds grew side by side but my roots grew thin, then one day i blew away in autumn s restless wind Josiah, alone i wing my way through winter storms
Far too many times i ve held it in, cause inside
somethings that might have been
Far too many times i ve held it in, i will whisper secrets to the animals that pass, i m just trying to live it down
In the green, when they lay my body in the green
he won t let me wash it out
I am appalachia, appalachian rage in the northbound wind the, i will whisper secrets to the animals that pass
He won t let me wash it out, i will whisper secrets to the animals that pass
I am appalachia, cause inside, lay my body in the green
When they lay my body in the green, somethings that might have been
I will whisper secrets to the animals that pass, wake up to find that i ve outgrown my friends
There was blood on my mama s knees from talking to the lord, cause inside
I can t turn this thing around, wake up to find that i ve outgrown my friends, when they lay my body in the green
lay my body in the green
