500 mountains - nick edelstein lyrics

Loading...

[verse]
i like to drink my bourbon neat
i found my best friends on main street
and one of the prettiest things i’ve ever seen
was tall mountains covered in green

[chorus]
500 mountains up in west virginia
they used to be there, until
the coal burners tore ‘em down
they tore ‘em down …

[verse]
the temperate forest in west virginia
is called “overburden” –
they gonna tear it down
hey there, old appalachia!
they’re comin’ to getcha

[bridge]
oh for a pile of coal
they’ll sell their soul
oh for just one burn
a one-time burn

[chorus]
500 mountains up in west virginia
they used to be there until
the coal burners tore ‘em down
500 mountains up in west virginia
they used to be there until
the coal burners tore them down
they tore ‘em down …
oh … oh …

[verse]
i knew an old man once
who needed a hand
so i gave him a day
fixing up his house right
and then we talked all night
he lived on a mountain until
m-ssey tore it down …

[orchestral ending]
