| Josiah Leming – Appalachia Lyrics | 15 years ago |
| Josiah grew up in Morristown, Tennessee, which is in far eastern Tennessee, in the region ofen mocked and lowly regarded region known as Appalachia. He hated it there. It never worked for him. He started writing songs at age 13, and by age 17, he was having trouble writing. He attribued it to being in one place too long, like Morristown was pulling him down. He left. He just got in his car and started driving. He drited around the South for around 3 year, living in his car and playing shows whenever and wherever he could get one. Eventually he realized and admitted to himself that he actually misses his home in eastern Tennessee. This song is a sort of declaration of an identity that he has come around to embracing: he's an appalachian. Or rather, as the song says, "I am Appalachia." | |
