I was born beneath the Appalachian range

I was sitting, missing things I never had

Me and Abbey, we'd just tally up the days

It wasn't our fault

And I remember every part about that day

Mama's tone and Grandma's face

When they got the call

It's hard to miss a man you never saw

And when he hit the ground, I took the fall

As I grow, it starts to fade

It loses color

If I could go back now, I'd take another
