Face of Appalachia

Lowell George, John Sebastian

[Verse 1]
Being born in blocks of buildings with a subway lullaby
When I dreamed of Appalachia it was dreams that had to die

[Chorus]
Coal trains wailing, banjos frailing
Sounds escapin’ through the night
But the face of Appalachia was there in that grey apartment light

[Verse 2]
I would fashion
I'd imagine somewhere steep in waterfalls
Wild birds sing to a five string, bouncin’ music off mountains walls

[Chorus]
Coal trains wailing, banjos frailing
Sounds escapin’ through the door
But the face of Appalachia, she was changin’, that's for sure
She was changin’, that's for sure

[Verse 3]
Grandpa made me quite a promise for the day I came of age
He said we'd walk through Appalachia, Northern Georgia on through to Maine

[Chorus]
Dreadful sorry, my beloved
Such a promise couldn’t keep
All my dreams of Appalachia, just an old man's memories
Just an old man's memories
