lyrics

Don't be bashful, this is Asheville
Where you can do most anything you like
Don't be bashful, this is Asheville
You won't see any rules posted so do what you feel to be right

I moved to this little old mountain town
A band needed a bass player so I came down
Got to a bar by the water and what did I see
But a whole lots'a hippies that looked kinda like me
They was all jammin' and having their fun
Drinking local made beer, they came and offered me some
Then an old bearded feller who baked his own bread
Looked out from under his hat and this is what he said

He said don't be bashful, this is Asheville
Where you can do most anything you like
Don't be bashful, this is Asheville
You won't see any rules posted so do what you feel to be right

That party wound down in a week or so
And everybody went home but I had nowhere to go
I started wandering those streets, all crooked and bent
Figured someone somewhere would have a room to rent
Sure enough I ran into a forestry crew
They pointed the way to a big ol' group house they knew
The landlord herself was there fixing it up
Drinking dynamite coffee from an old wooden cup
She showed me the room she said would be mostly mine
If I didn't mind sharing it with roaches sometimes
But I'd been so moved by my new hometown's spirit
I sang it so loud that the termites would hear it

Don't be bashful, this is Asheville
Where you can do most anything you like
Don't be bashful, this is Asheville
You won't see any rules posted so do what you feel to be right

Now not much has changed, we're still having our fun
Going out to Black Balsam to catch the rising sun
Staying up late with the Hank Williams shrine
'Til the Two Headed Dog says it's closing time
But you know the best part of life in this land
Is sharing the good times and extending a hand
So I hope y'all will come out and visit and stay
And sing it or shout it or whistle or say

Don't be bashful, this is Asheville
Where you can do most anything you like
Don't be bashful, this is Asheville
You won't see any rules posted so do what you feel to be right
You won't see any rules posted, do whatever you feel to be right
