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
