lyrics

I'd give my blood to the Appalachian mud
just to be called her loving son.
The Kudzu is me. As is the early blooming Dogwood tree
This last freeze that's coming might knock me down but it's not gonna kill me.

Oh, I'd give it all for you, my precious one.
What else can I do?

The insane have sullied my good name,
taken me for granted and left me with the blame.
But the boy grows and the man that's left he knows,
Not a lick of this is my fault.

Oh, I'd give it all for you, my precious one.
What else can I do?

Push me to the curb,
leave me lying in the road
or hold me in your arms as if I was your own.

Oh, I'd give it all for you, my precious one.
What else can I do?

I'd give my blood to the Appalachian mud
just to be called her loving son.
