Appalachian Blue

Writers: David Lauver, Karen Bowles, Bobby Johnson, Jerry Salley

Vs1)
Tonight, I can't sleep even though I've closed my eyes
I don't count sheep so I'll just lie here counting railroad ties
Along the tracks that take me back to the place that I once knew
Where the mountains meet the sky in shades of Appalachian Blue

CH)
Appalachian Blue is the color of the water
That tumbles down the hillside past the house that was our home
Appalachian Blue was the cotton dress I bought you
And the feeling that I got when you were gone
It's a bluetick hound that's howling underneath an old blue moon
And the lonesome notes that linger from a bluegrass fiddle tune
It's the blue in my eyes from missing you
Appalachian Blue

Vs2)
I wake up and I realize that I can't go back home
And even if I went back now I'd still be all alone
Cause your love's nothing more than just a dream I hold on to
And these empty arms are proof you left me Appalachian Blue

Chorus
