Analysis of Dance Beneath the Silver Appalachian Moon
My soul is as old as the mountains of Appalachia
And I still believe raising hell like the outlaw Jesse James
In this country where the eagle flies free
I am a free man
Walking this earth till the coach says son, “Games over.”
But until then, I'm gonna play by rules
And shoot for the moon
And dance beneath that silver Appalachian moon
