I live on blue ridge parkway
Take the 81, it never stops
I'm from Franklin county
Past the boonie shops and trailer parks
My neighbor shot himself yesterday
The valleys closing in from growing pains
I always feel tired
My parents are higher
Than the mountains
In Appalachia land
The people are sinners
But never forgivers
The Bible swears by their hand
In Appalachia land
The coke has whiskey
And the moonshine is from backyard
Ellie thinks I'm pretty
So we're going to hell to kiss and stuff
The men will cheat and blame it on their sons
They grow up, and don't chose love
I always feel tired
My parents are higher
Than the mountains
In Appalachia land
The people are bitter
They work for their dinner
Then drink, to do it all again
In Appalachia land
I live on blue ridge parkway
Take the 81, you'll find me there
Past the boats and goat farms
There's a little red house with a broken fence
Mmmmmm
Mmmmmm
Mmmmmm
Mmmmmm
