*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  Return to the Kentucky Collection.
