Michael Beatty: Lyrics & Listen

Appalachian Sunset

(Michael Beatty)

Way down dark in the deepest of the woods

You'll find a tree that falls where no one should

Hear it suspect as if to see

The Appalachian sidewinder comin for me

Get down to the square in the town with the one light flashin

Ladies with their hair so high and out of fashion

Party in the pokey with the a son of a gun

Gotta get me home cause I gotta get me some

 

Appalachian Sunset

Fruit on the vine

Appalachian psychedelic

Appalachian wine

 

Dancin in the church by the hill where the corn is growin

Serpents in a box by the pew with the strychnine flowin

Howlin like the hounds of calvary

The Appalachian banshee makes a sweet harmony

Bow down to the velvet head of the king a-glarin

Cowboys with their hawgs of steel and their jeans a-flarin

I know you'd like to think you've done it all

So pour yourself another give your mama a call

 

Appalachian Sunset

Fruit on the vine

Appalachian psychedelic

Appalachian wine
