It's where the homestead stood beneath those eastern pines
Em G D Am
Little piece of that old porch swing I built her in '95
Em G
The devil dressed in dark clouds

It brought the wind it brought the rain
Em G D Am
I never dreamt I'd live to see an Appalachian hurricane

So just go on back to sleeep or look the other way

For Mother Mountain’s broken heart

Right down to the bone

But from the hollers to the hills
D Am
We take care of our own
