Lyrics
The Appalachian Trail ©2026

When the whippoorwill starts calling from the tree tops
And the lonely dove begins her wispy wail
You'll know it's time to drift off with Orion
And the nightsongs of the Appalachian Trail

You'll find good things everywhere from Georgia to Maine
Campfire songs and shelters and mountain streams
A world away from the busy life that drove you
To walk two thousand miles and live a dream

The endless skies
High mountain air
Unforgettable climbs
That'll soak your hair
And before you're through
You'll get to know... you
Yeah, you'll find your heart and fall in love with it all
On the Appalachian Trail (X2)

You'll love the soft parade of friendly faces
And the angels, bless those angels along the way
You'll wrap yourself around this peaceful freedom
And point those two feet forward every day

The endless skies
High mountain air
Unforgettable climbs
That'll soak your hair
And before you're through
You'll get to know... you
Yeah, you'll find your heart and fall in love with it all
On the Appalachian Trail
Yeah, you'll find your heart and fall in love with it all
On the Appalachian Trail
On the Appalachian Trail
