Verse 1:
There ain’t a lot I haven’t got,
Oh I got plenty,
The earth beneath my feet,
And air in my lungs,
I got a smile,
And I got people that I love,
And it ain’t many,
But it’s enough,
And I got time, forget the clock,
Another penny,
Another mile,
Pre-Chorus:
And where I come from,
It’s whatcha you doing,
That’s brings you soothing,
And where I come from,
There ain’t no choosing,
It’s whatcha ya do and-
Boy you got them knocking saying-
Chorus:
Hey- Mr. Appalachia,
Won’t you come outside,
You’re writing songs from a room without a window,
About the open skies,
(Whooo!)
Hey Mr. Appalachia don’t you waste your time,
Chasing all the pennies when the riches lay just feet from where you write,
Let’s take a stroll down,
Memory lane,
The days where you were bailing hay are over,
And the people that you love who came and gone,
Are looking down- and oh they wonder-
You got them saying- hey Mr. Appalachia won’t you come outside,
You get real close to heaven,
When you walk below the eastern mountain sky,
Hey Mr. Appalachia don’t you waste your time,
Hey Mr. Appalachia-
Verse 2:
You look for heaven on a map,
That’s where you’ll find me,
Sure- there’s a lot my hometown lacks,
But ain’t it pretty,
The Eastern Wild,
And I got music in my bones,
My grandma sang me,
A pretty song,
She sang about the trees and secrets underneath,
The holy wild-
You’re not alone-
Cause where I come from,
It’s friendly neighbors,
And local times,
And where I come from,
It’s see you later,
There’s no goodbye,
Guess I better join them singing’-
Chorus:
Hey- Mr. Appalachia,
Won’t you come outside,
You’re writing songs from a room without a window,
About the open skies,
(Whooo!)
Hey Mr. Appalachia don’t you waste your time,
Chasing all the pennies when the riches lay just feet from where you write,
Let’s take a stroll down,
Memory lane,
The days where you were bailing hay are over,
And the people that you love who came and gone,
Are looking down- and oh they wonder-
You got them saying- hey Mr. Appalachia won’t you come outside,
You get real close to heaven,
When you walk right under eastern sunny sky,
Hey Mr. Appalachia don’t you waste your time,
Hey My. Appalachia-
Outro:
Hey Mr. Appalachia-
(Ooooh- Hey Mr-)
Hey Mr. Appalachia-
