Setting out on this journey
I packed up my regrets
Now I sit here in this shelter
Seems I don't have many left
So I'm writing you this letter
On this rainy April day
You said your heart needed some distance
So I walked away
CHORUS:
I would gladly walk from Georgia, all the way to Maine
I would cross the creeks and the mountain peaks
Whispering your name
If you asked me I would do this
I would go and not complain
But this walk's for me, to find my peace
In this Appalachian rain
Looking out the Blue Ridge
I pulled a pebble from my shoe
I threw it down into the valley
Then I sat and thought of you
I wish somehow it was that easy
To just let go of all the pain
But it's not, so I keep walkin'
In this Appalachian Rain
CHORUS
You could meet me at Katadin
On that clear September day
But if you're not there where the trail ends,
I'll still be okay
CHORUS
I packed up my regrets
Now I sit here in this shelter
Seems I don't have many left
So I'm writing you this letter
On this rainy April day
You said your heart needed some distance
So I walked away
CHORUS:
I would gladly walk from Georgia, all the way to Maine
I would cross the creeks and the mountain peaks
Whispering your name
If you asked me I would do this
I would go and not complain
But this walk's for me, to find my peace
In this Appalachian rain
Looking out the Blue Ridge
I pulled a pebble from my shoe
I threw it down into the valley
Then I sat and thought of you
I wish somehow it was that easy
To just let go of all the pain
But it's not, so I keep walkin'
In this Appalachian Rain
CHORUS
You could meet me at Katadin
On that clear September day
But if you're not there where the trail ends,
I'll still be okay
CHORUS
