Appalachian Lyrics

Appalachian lyrics

I'd like to hike the Appalachian 

 I've tossed it around in my mind 

 but then I say to myself 

 boy you must be crazy 

 don't you know you'll never have the time 

 I'd like to go into the city 

 maybe travel for a while 

 hitch a ride, now there's something I can do 

 but I've never been more than a mile 

 and it might take forever 

 but I am all I have to show 

 there is a missing piece 

 to find before I go 

 three words away from a masterpiece 

 ten thousand miles from my home 

 and all my greed 

 and three hungry mouths to feed 

 I don't know if I can make it on my own 

 and yet it's raining up on Sharp Top 

 my spirit's molding me like clay 

 I guess we should have built further from the river bank 

 it's trying to wash us all away 

 

 And it might take forever 

 but we are all we have to show 

 There is a missing piece 

 to find before we go 

 This morning's battle, population 

 on the city street below 

 And Lord I dread to get up out of bed 

 five million footprints in the snow 

 And it might take forever 

 but I am all I have to show 

 There is a missing piece 

 to find before I go
