Appalachia

Lyrics

[Intro: Almeda Riddle] You will leave this house carpenter And come and go along with me-me-me-me I'll take you where the grass grows green On the banks all sweet, banks all swee-swee— [Chorus] White Escalades, Appalachian Mountains It's only right, the only person to have come up out 'em You either do it or you sit there and just talk about it I'm getting weird looks every time I leave Buncombe County [Verse 1] There's very few of y'all I trust, even less of y'all I love I'll bow my head to only one That façade that y'all put up, you might fool them, but just not us That façade just isn't you and more over, it's a crutch So ask yourself, what do you really do it for? Do you feel it in your core? Do you really feel it? Humble myself for the Lord, coulda ended up like y'all But my mama raised me better, father said that less is more [Chorus] White Escalades, Appalachian Mountains It's only right, the only person to have come up out 'em You either do it or you sit there and just talk about it I'm getting weird looks every time I leave Buncombe County [Verse 2] 126 down I-26, it shows my age, I can't drive stick I'll get insulted, you can see, I just had to shout out my— 140 down on I-40, it's like eight hours to the coast If someone asks if I do music, chances is I'm saying, "No" Because I'm scared they might judge They take one look at the car, probably think I'm selling— Or that my daddy paid it, or that I'm late on payments Funny part is I bought the house and car without touching my savings [Chorus] White Escalades, Appalachian Mountains It's only right, the only person to have come up out 'em You either do it or you sit there and just talk about it I'm getting weird looks every time I leave Buncombe County [Outro] Are you surprised to be famous now? I don't give a goddamn how famous I am or whatever It don't matter to me 'cause I'm 'bout dead anyways, so what I give a shit? And if anybody don't like the way I do, shit, fuck 'em
