Chickamauga

[Verse 1] You'd never leave on your own Where you're from and where you're going I know these things like I know you hate me now [Verse 2] Catch yourself in mid-air thinking Your dreams can never be bought I couldn't help you then, and I guess I can't help you now [Verse 3] When jousting is for pleasure And pleasure is way out of hand The time is ripe for getting out while we still can [Chorus] Chickamauga's where I've been Solitude is where I'm bound I don't ever wanna taste those tears again I don't ever wanna taste those tears again [Verse 4] Appalachian, so impatient The lessons we've traveled As soon as we're out, we're kicking our way back in [Verse 5] Fighting fire with unlit matches From our respective trenches No authority can clean up this mess we're in [Verse 6] A miracle might point the way To solutions we're after And avert our chronic impending disaster [Chorus] Chickamauga's where I've been Solitude is where I'm bound I don't ever wanna taste those tears again [Instrumental Outro]
