Midnight Train to Appalachia

[Verse] In the glow of the lantern By the midnight train Fiddle cries like a lone wolf in the pouring rain Clawhammer strummin' on a weather-beaten porch Bass keeps rollin' like a storm without a torch [Verse 2] Dusty roads and shadowed paths The journey's fair Boots tap the rhythm Hearts beat each wear Rustic tales whispered by the firelight's gleam Folksy tunes echo Like a long-gone dream [Chorus] Oh Hear the old-timey band Play their raw refrain Soulful notes uncover The heart's hidden pain Authentic voices rise Like a forest's hymn Honest They remain In the world's old spin [Verse 3] Complex rhythms tap from the blacksmith's beat Echoes of the past in the cobblestone street Energy flows Like moonshine in a jar Pure spirit rings From an old guitar [Verse 4] The fields whisper secrets that the wind has told Melodies entwined in the morning's gold Fiddle weeps softly as the night rolls slow Heartfelt tales in every tune they sow [Chorus] Oh Hear the old-timey band Play their raw refrain Soulful notes uncover The heart's hidden pain Authentic voices rise Like a forest's hymn Honest They remain In the world's old spin
