[Verse]

On my journeys of this land

I met an appalachian man

He tells me stories of the night

[Verse]

Tales of things you've never seen

Except in nightmares and dreams

And visitations of the other side

[Verse]

Say, don't go about yourself

On the appalachain trail

You don't know what you'll find

[Verse]

All kinds of folk-tall-tales

Creatures from the gates of hell

But if you stick with me you'll be just fine

[Verse]

He said "I've seen a thing or two"

"I know my way around the dark"

"Got a list of rules to go by"

[Verse]

When you're walking, walk with pride

Keep your weapon at your side

And if you see a creature don't look in its eyes

[Solo]

[Verse]

I'll never understand

That there appalachian man

I fear he's lost his mind

[Verse]

Swears his tales are true

But the moral dock it to

I can smell that he's been in the moonshine

I can smell that he's been in the moonshine
