Appalachian Sinner

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 feeling's gone away
I've been a fraud to my own kin
If I told them all I've done, they'd be ashamed

And ohh
I'm an Appalachian sinner to my core
And ohh, no
No, the ransom for my soul I can't afford

Stuck on momma's basement floor
I'm a living, but ain't working for my chow
I've been a 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

Ooh, ooh, ah, oh, no
Ah, ah, no, oh, no
Oh, whoa, no
Hum

Stuck on something that gave me hope
That I could have something livin' for
He said: There ain't no freedom in a rope, no
Hanging there you 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 you friend

Ooh, then and there I fell upon my knees
And I said: Jesus, take this wretched heart of mine!
No, 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, no
I was lost, but now am found, oh praise the Lord!
And ohh
I'm an Appalachian sinner, but reborn
