作曲：Dolly Parton

You oughta go north somebody told us

'Cause the air is filled with gold dust

And fortune falls like snow

flakes in your hands

Now I don't recall you said it

But we'd lived so long on credit

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's a stuggle keepin'

sight of who you are

Oh and these northern nights are dreary

And my southern heart is weary

I wonder how the old folks are back home

But I'll keep leanin'

on sweet Jesus

I know He'll love and guide and lead us

Appalachian memories keep me strong

Ya know I've been thinkin'

a whole lot lately

About what's been and what awaits me

It takes all I've got to give

what life demands

You go insane if you give in to it

Life's a mill and I've been through it

I'm just thankful I'm creative

with my hands

Oh and these northern nights are dreary

And my southern eyes are teary

Don't I wonder how the

old folks are back home

But I'll keep leanin' on my Jesus

I know he'll love and guide and lead us

Appalachian memories keep me strong

I'll keep lookin' to the Father

Keep our heads above the water

Appalachian memories keep me strong
