| Lyrics: | You oughta go north somebody told us
cause the air is filled with gold dust
And fortune
falls like snow flakes in your hands
Now i dont recall you said it
But wed lived so long
on credit
And so we headed out to find our promised land
Just poor appalachian farm
folk
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 its a stuggle
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 ill keep leanin?on sweet
jesus
I know hell love and guide and lead us
Appalachian memories keep me strong
Ya know ive been thinkin?a whole lot lately
About whats been and what awaits me
It
takes all ive got to give what life demands
You go insane if you give in to it
Lifes a
mill and ive been through it
Im just thankful im creative with my hands
Oh and these
northern nights are dreary
And my southern eyes are teary
Dont i wonder how the old folks
are back home
But ill keep leanin?on my jesus
I know hell love and guide and lead us
Appalachian memories keep me strong
Ill keep lookin?to the father
Keep our heads
above the water
Appalachian memories keep me strong |
