Compared To You

Compared to my father I'm a college boy
Who never learned to saw a straight line
Compared to my mother I'm a sinner
Who never saw the light
But I read my bible every day
I worked my hands in wood
I ain't always done my best but
I've done the best I could

Compared to you I am Appalachian south
When I hear those sweet words
Like peaches in your mouth
I know that your roots
Run underneath this clay
To the place that makes a
Dreamer never wanna run away
Where love is rare love that's true
I ain't never met a woman in my life
That compared to you

Compared to my brother I'm a seeker
Who just wanted way too much
Compared to my sister I'm a loner
Who is livin' out of touch
And I've got nowhere else to be
Would you like to take a walk
Or just sit here and let me hear you talk?

Compared to you I am Appalachian south
When I hear those sweet words
Like peaches in your mouth
You talk with a drawl and I talk with a twang
But underneath it all we both
Mean the same thing love is rare
Love that's true
I ain't never met a woman in my life
That compared to you

Well now that you know all of that
Do you think that we could
Maybe close this gap?

Compared to you I am Appalachian south
When I hear those sweet words
Like peaches in your mouth
I know that your roots
Run underneath this clay
To the place that makes a
Dreamer never wanna run away
Where love is rare love that's true
I ain't never met a woman in my life
That compared to you
