*Sometimes, I write songs instead of poems. This is one of those times.
**Wow, chords too? Yeah, buddy.

A
You and me 
Bm
were born to be here together
A
You and me
E
my friend
A
I will come back
Bm
to find you whenever
A            E         A 
you need a kind hand

A
Years have passed by 
D
wonder if they miss me
A                     E
I will be home soon
A      
When I met you
D
my heartache went and left me
A                 E           A
Right here's where I choose

A F#m G#dim A
to make a home 
G#dim F#m A
in the mountains
A F#m G#dim A G#dim
And to find kin in
         F#m A 
your friends
A  F#m G#dim A  G#dim F#m A
The road was long 'fore I got here
A                  E         A
now I find it hard to go

You and me 
could've missed this
forever
You and me 
my friend
Thankful for the blunders
that brought me
here to take your hand

​I must go on
please don't forget me
I will be home soon
Home was a place
'til God gave me today
Right now's when I choose

to make a home 
in the mountains
And to find kin in
your friends
The road was long 'fore I got here
now here I hope to rest

You and me
will get through
whatever
You and me 
my friend
I will come back
to find you
so never
let go of my hand

and I'll make a home 
in the mountains
and I'll find kin in
my friends
The road was long 'fore I got here
but I'd travel it again

eKY Flood Relief Annotation 8/17/22
One of my dearest experiences in Whitesburg, KY was getting to be part of the Cowan Creek Community Theater production of story-play "Roots & Branches." This intergenerational cast told the rooted-in-life story of a girl who reluctantly visits her ancestral Appalachian home and in doing so, finds community, homegrown music, shared cultural history, and good food. Behind the scenes, I was introduced to deviled eggs and venison backstrap and made cherished friends in fellow bandmates Brandon and Callie, Kevin, Alyssa, fearless director Miss Carol, and so many others. This song is for them. Support more art-makers as they restore their home after devastating floods: www.tinyurl.com/cowancreek
