Oh, I need to know
Where it is you go
When your wayward wandering heart
Gets weighed down by the dark
Tell me where you go

Oh, and take me with you, East
Give me secrets so I can keep
Keep you far from the city moon
Out there where the dogwoods bloom
Your secrets, safe with me

Give me golden skin, Carolina sun
American spirit in my lungs
Say my name and I'll climb right up
Show me, baby, where the Blue Ridge runs
Show me, baby, where the Blue Ridge runs

Oh, the Appalachian night
Know the sweet morning light, no, no
It was dancing through your hair
Oh, honey, honey, take me there
To see you in the light

Give me golden skin, Carolina sun
American spirit in my lungs
Say my name and I'll climb right up
Show me, baby, where the Blue Ridge runs
Show me, baby, where the Blue Ridge runs

Give me golden skin, Carolina sun
American spirit in my lungs
Say my name and I'll climb right up
Show me, baby, where the Blue Ridge runs
Show me, baby, where the Blue Ridge runs
