Testo Appalachian Memories Dolly Parton
You oughta go north somebody told us
æââ¬Â¦Ã¯Â¢Åause the air is filled with gold dust
And fortune falls like snow flakes in your hands
Now I donæàð recall you said it
But weæàý 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 itæàï 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 Iæà£l keep leanin?on sweet Jesus
I know Heæà£l love and guide and lead us
Appalachian memories keep me strong
Ya know Iæàóe been thinkin?a whole lot lately
About whatæàï been and what awaits me
It takes all Iæàóe got to give what life demands
You go insane if you give in to it
Lifeæàï a mill and Iæàóe been through it
Iæàæ just thankful Iæàæ creative with my hands
Oh and these northern nights are dreary
And my southern eyes are teary
Donæàð I wonder how the old folks are back home
But Iæà£l keep leanin?on my Jesus
I know heæà£l love and guide and lead us
Appalachian memories keep me strong
Iæà£l keep lookin?to the Father
Keep our heads above the water
Appalachian memories keep me strong
