Greatest Hits Lyrics - 1989

[ Buy Greatest Hits ]

You oughta go north somebody told us

And fortune falls like snow flakes in your hands
Now i don
But we
And so we headed out to find our promised land
Just poor appalachian farm folk
With nothing more than high hopes
We hitched our station wagon to a star
But our dreams all fell in on us
'cause there was no land of promise
And it

Oh and these northern nights are dreary
And my southern heart is weary
I wonder how the old folks are back home
But i
I know he
Appalachian memories keep me strong

Ya know i
About what
It takes all i
You go insane if you give in to it
Life
I

Oh and these northern nights are dreary
And my southern eyes are teary
Don
But i
I know he
Appalachian memories keep me strong

I
Keep our heads above the water
Appalachian memories keep me strong
