A.H. Pettus - How The West Was Once

Appalachian Man

I come from rags not riches
I study the gospel now
Runnin from my in-laws, I feel like an outlaw
I guess I'll have to leave town

These sinners and preachers
They all treat me the same
From the dirt road to the railroad
Its all a vicious game

We try to find the remedy in the fireflies
Fast cars and mason jars
Blessed are the ties that bind, no rest for the wicked kind
They'll hit you from behind

I'm just an Appalachian Man
I'm just an Appalachian Man

From the hills to the holler
They chase us a little farther now
But I'm still an Appalachian Man

From the hills to the holler
They chase us a little farther now
But it'll never be the same
Oh, it'll never be the same

From the hills to the holler
They chase us a little farther now
But it'll never be the same

I'm just an Appalachian Man
I'm just an Appalachian Man

From the hills to the holler
They chase us a little farther now
But I'm still an Appalachian Man

I'm still an Appalachian Man
But I'm still an Appalachian Man
