I heard word of you comin’ through the hills by means of Jodi Holland

She said the last time you were caught dead in a coal county’s probably the year 1900

I laughed and I said, “it's about time boys finally did what they were told.”

Then I ran home quicker then lightnin’ to put on some blusher and light up a smoke

Momma wasn’t too keen on my pies, she said she preferred her own

As I was trying to explain I learned from the best he said going, going, sold

To a blue eyed, brown haired boy with dirt underneath his nails

Then he looked at me and asked if I'd like to have this dance

Nothing says Appalachian cowgirl dream like a baby sitting on your right knee

Nothing says better than I was like coming home from war and still holding up a gun

But nothing gets you feeling on me

Quite like another chance to be free

Maybe you and I can change things

We spent our honeymoon night in a cheap motel down South 23

The only reason we got it was cuz daddy had an old rich fishing buddy

We talked about bible names and how fast he could change a tire

And how we both thought the phrase “good things come to those who wait” should be retired

Nothing says Appalachian cowgirl dream like a baby sitting on your right knee

Nothing says better than I was like coming home from war and still holding up a gun

But nothing gets you feeling on me

Quite like another chance to be free

Maybe you and I can change things

We both screamed when we finally had the nerve to roll down the window and throw out the map

He said I don’t know where were going but we sure as hell ain't never going back

Maybe if we dream well be it

And maybe when we get there we'll never have to leave it

But nothing gets you feeling on me

Quite like another chance to be free

Maybe you and I can change things
