If I could risk it all, I'd risk it all
To be in Carolina by midnight
Keep working 'til the work gets done
One day we'll watch the sunrise over the blue ridge skyline
And everything's be alright

Moonshine and some hard times
Sunday service to clear my mind
Bluegrass on the flat-top
That preacher sure knows how to talk

I'm a sinner, I'm a saint, appalachian raised
Deep in the holler where everything stays the same
I'm a sinner, I'm a saint, I'm your best mistake
Appalachian raised, ain't a damn thing change
We don't change now

I wonder if Jimmy's still alive
And did his sister get married?
I think about the day that Daniel died
I wasn't there when he got buried
This town was built on faith
And swallowed up by the rich
Those mountains still call my name just as clear as day
Like when we were kids

I'm a sinner, I'm a saint, appalachian raised
Deep in the holler where everything stays the same
I'm a sinner, I'm a saint, I'm your best mistake
Appalachian raised, ain't a damn thing change

Swerving down backroads with my eyes closed
Just trying to make it back home
Stole a pack of smokes from my mother's coat
And I bet she'll never know
Swerving down backroads with my eyes closed
Just trying to make it back home
Stole a pack of smokes from my mother's coat
And I bet she'll never know

I'm a sinner, I'm a saint, appalachian raised
Deep in the holler where everything stays the same
I'm a sinner, I'm a saint, I'm your best mistake
Appalachian raised, ain't a damn thing change
We don't change now
