Dolly Parton - Appalachian Memories lyrics

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
