Appalachian

I'd like to hike the AppalachianI've tossed it around in my mindbut then I say to myselfboy you must be crazydon't you know you'll never have the timeI'd like to go into the citymaybe travel for a whilehitch a ride, now there's something I can dobut I've never been more than a mileand it might take foreverbut I am all I have to showthere is a missing pieceto find before I gothree words away from a masterpieceten thousand miles from my homeand all my greedand three hungry mouths to feedI don't know if I can make it on my ownand yet it's raining up on Sharp Topmy spirit's molding me like clayI guess we should have built further from the river bankit's trying to wash us all awayAnd it might take foreverbut we are all we have to showThere is a missing pieceto find before we goThis morning's battle, populationon the city street belowAnd Lord I dread to get up out of bedfive million footprints in the snowAnd it might take foreverbut I am all I have to showThere is a missing pieceto find before I go
