[Verse 1] On the porch playing his banjo Soul mate said she had to go The mocking birds join in His heart is broken within [ Verse 2] The wipperwills lonesome cry Just makes him want to cry She said country life was too slow So to the city she had to go [Chorus] Appalachian sunset bring me peace When will the pain and tears cease It was excitement she did seek So now his life looks so bleek Country life too boring and slow But his heart just can't let her go His love for her will never die So for now he just sets and cries [Bridge] Working the farm during the day Beneath the suns hot blaze It helps him cope with his pain Evenings his tears fall like rain [Banjo solo] [Verse 3] Fireflies put on a light show Bullfrogs add bass so low As the crickets play along He thinks of their favorite song [Verse 4] A screech owl in the distance Seems to say what's the difference Lure to the city quenched her thirst It seems he never came first [Chorus] [Verse 5] Friends say he should move on But he can't get over she's gone He's singing a mournful song And nature just sings along [Chorus] [Fade to end]
