Dolly Parton - Appalachian Memories 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
