I Really Have Nothing to Write About Today

So you get the lyrics to a pretty song!

I heard this tune at First Night Annapolis 2005/06. It was performed by a group called Wolf Creek Session. They said they were going to perform it because 'pretty songs sells CDs.' They were right. Words and music by johnsmith and Buddy Mondlock © 2002. Here, you can find some great information about the Appalachian Trail (parts of it I have walked, but not the whole thing yet by far. It's on my list), for you non-Easterners who may not know about it.

Appalachian Rain

Heading out on this journey
I packed up my regrets.
Now I'm sitting in this shelter,
Seems I don't have many left.
But I'm writing you this letter
On this rainy April day.
You said your heart needed some distance
So I walked away.

I would gladly walk from Georgia
All the way Maine.
I would cross the creeks and the mountain peaks
Whispering your name.
If you ask me I would do this
I would go and not complain
But this walk's for me to find my peace
In the Appalachian rain.

Walking out on the Blue Ridge,
I pulled a pebble from my shoe
And threw it down into the valley
And I sat and thought of you.
I wish it all could be that easy
To just let go of all the pain,
But it's not so I'll keep walking
In the Appalachian rain.
I would gladly walk from Georgia All the way Maine. I would cross the creeks and the mountain peaks Whispering your name. If you ask me I would do this I would go and not complain But this walk's for me to find my peace In the Appalachian rain.
You can meet me at Katahdin
On that clear September day.
If you're not there where the trail ends
I'll still be okay.

I would gladly walk from Georgia
All the way Maine.
I would cross the creeks and the mountain peaks
Whispering your name.
If you ask me I would do this
I would go and not complain
But this walk's for me to find my peace
In the Appalachian rain.
