Country Road Blues

I think I’ll write a second “Country Roads”
In my Colorado bungalow
To regard Appalachia from the Rockies
To rattle my Ohio River bones
My grandfather moved out of Pennsylvania
To get his family out from under coal
The coal mines gave him mesothelioma
It grew inside his body like a mold
Country roads, I got blues for the steel mills
I was watching when the furnaces came down
In old Weirton and I past out in the back seat
Of a Nissan, woke up in Morgantown
My baby, she was born in Colorado
She kissed me with her fingers in my hair
I caught a train back home to West Virginia
But my home was no longer there
I had blues for the hearts of Appalachians
I had blues for their secret dreams
I had blues for the miners and the singers
And my grandfather, who’d held me on his knee
Country roads, leave here me in Colorado
Where they don’t kill the mountains for the coal
I’m searching for the Appalachian Mountains
What’s left of them is held inside my soul
