Appalachian Scream

We live for the mountains
'cause the mountains give us life
but the pits were too inviting
and they stripped away our lives
If i could holler from this hollow
for just a little help
i'm sure the neighbors would come running
just to see for them selves
And i don't give a damn
if you don't understand
(chorus)
cause i hear the voices calling
they're sending me a warning about you
is it a haunting song from a familiar dream
or just an appalachian scream
We're neighbors we're not friends
i don't trust them a bit
call it baseless paranoia
or the way that we live
We're all escaping something
but we're blind to what it is
if i'd turn my back he'd kill me
and i'd do the same to him
And i don't give a damn
if you don't understand
(chorus)
I built this shit from nothing
i brought it up with love
considering what i got now
it's still not very much
After 20 years time's forgotten me
and i wish it all the same
but they're knocking at my neighbors' door
and soon they'll call my name
(chorus)
