Appalachian Sinner lyrics

Stuck on square one again
I ain't the man
That you thought I was
Well I've been living in my sin
I understand
The consequence thereof
Stuck on high hopes again
But in one night
All the feelings gone away

I been a fraud to my own kin
If I told them all I've done
They'd be ashamed

[Chorus]
And oh
I'm an Appalachian Sinner to my core
And oh, no
No ransom for my soul I can afford

Oooh, oooooh

[Verse 2]
Stuck on Mama's basement floor
I'm a live-in
But ain't workin' for my chow
I've been hanging with a whore
Oh, if Mama 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 puttin' up a fight
Maybe lifе ain't worth the livin' in my head
[Chorus]
No, no
I'm an Appalachian Sinner to my corе
And oh, no
No the ransom for my soul I can't afford

Oooh, oh, oh, no
Oh, no, oh no
Oh, oh no
Mmhm

[Verse 3]
Stuck on something, gave me hope
That I could have somethin' livin' for
'Cept there ain't no freedom in a rope, no
Hangin' there
You live a life so wretched poor
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,"
"That wants to call you friend"
Well then n' there, I fell upon my knees
And I said "Jesus, take this wretched heart of mine,"
"No, it ain't no good but I believe,"
"You're the righteous one, who gave his only life."
[Chorus]
And oh
No, I'm an Appalachian Sinner to my core
And oh, no
No ransom for my soul I can afford

[Outro]
And oh, what, no
I was lost but now I'm found, oh praise the Lord!
And oh
I'm an Appalachian Sinner
But reborn
