Kevin Reilly
Appalachian Moon
[VERSE 1]
Dream dream deep in rolling mountains
Little horse, a board swing
Mama down the stream
[VERSE 2]
Drip that honey on the camera
Lay out on an old quilt
Pretty like a queen
[BRIDGE]
Oh I know a baby should be born in love
Outside in the pumpkins and the roots
Oh I know we ain’t been off the land that long
But you can’t step in those photos in your room
And you can’t sleep under no Appalachian moon
[VERSE 3]
Cry cry, suffer old Virginia
Sing out all the work songs
Gathered up in schools
[VERSE 4]
Don’t try, lover there’s no answer
Unless in the mansion
We were raised as fools
[BRIDGE]
I don’t know the panic of the flood plain here
Deep inside my corduroy jeans
Would that we could put back on our real boots now
But you can’t fill anyone’s bottle on the loop
And you can’t sleep under no Appalachian moon
No you can’t fill anyone’s bottle on the loop
And you can’t sleep under no Appalachian moon
