Verse 1:
Bm                                                  Em    Bm
When my soul wants to fly up high like mist on the mountain
Bm
Ship me out of Tennessee
                                               Em   Bm
When my days tick down and my clock stops counting
Bm
Just let the rain do the crying for me
A                                 Em
Something in me knows I'm almost home

Chorus:
             Bm                           D
’Cause I'm a couple hundred miles to the Cumberland Gap
A                       Em
Sweet Appalachia keeps calling me back
Bm                           D
Grew up running through the sourwood trees
A                                     Em
And that's right where they’re gonna bury me
Bm                D
Wherever I might roam
A                Em
I feel it in my bones
Bm                           D
Couple hundred miles to the Cumberland Gap
A                       Em                      Bm
Sweet Appalachia keeps calling me, calling me back


Verse 2:
Bm                                          Em   Bm
Well, I work real hard for a fistful of dollars
Bm
But I ain't a-gonna take 'em with me
                                                             Em   Bm
So just throw 'em out the window, let 'em blow around the holler
Bm
Y'all just have one on me
     A                                         Em
Just raise a glass to the Youghiogheny County ghost


Chorus:

I feel it in my bones
