Appalachian Memories lyrics
Song information
Artist: Dolly Parton Album: Greatest Hits
Lyrics
You oughta go north somebody told us cause the air is filled with gold dust And fortune falls like snowflakes in your hands Now I don't recall you said it but we'd lived so long on credit And so we headed out to find our promised land
Just poor apalachian farm folks with nothing more than high hopes We hitched our station wagon to a star But our dreams all fell in on us cause there was no land of promise And it's a struggle keepin' sight of who you are
Oh and these northern nights are dreary and my southern heart is weary I wonder how the old folks are back home But I'll keep leanin' on sweet jesus I know he'll love and guide and lead us Appalachian memories keep me strong
You know I've been thinking a whole lot lately about what's been and what awaits me It takes all I've got to give what life demands You go insane if you give into it life's a mill and I've been through it I'm just thankful I'm creative with my hands
Oh and these northern nights are dreary..
