Appalachian Sinner Lyrics

Stuck on square one again

I ain't the man that you thought I was

Well I've been living my sin

I understand the consequence thereof

Stuck on high hopes again

But in one night all the feeling's gone away

I've been a fraud to my own kin

If I told them all I'd done they'd be ashamed

And ohh, I'm an Appalachian sinner to my core

And ohh, no the ransom for my soul I can't afford

Stuck on mommas basement floor

I'm a living but ain't working for my chow

I've been hanging with a whore

Oh if momma knew she'd throw me out

Stuck on pleasure and the high

The high that leaves me wishin I was dead

I think I'm done putting up a fight

Maybe life ain't worth a living in my head

And ohh no, I'm an Appalachian sinner to my core

And ohh no, no the ransom for my soul I can't afford

Stuck on something gave me hope

That I could have something livin for

He said, "There ain't no freedom in a rope, no hanging there ya lived a life so wretched poor."

He said, "Son, once there's a man who was hung

'Cause he knew you'd need a saving from your sin

You're an outlaw with a gun

But he's a God who wants to call ya friend"

Then and there I fell upon my knees

Said, "Jesus take this wretched heart of mine!'

I ain't no good but I believe

That You're the righteous One who gave His only life

And ohh, I'm an Appalachian sinner to my core

And ohh no, no the ransom for my soul I can't afford

And ohh woah, I was lost but now am found oh praise the Lord!

And ohh, I'm an Appalachian sinner but reborn
