Headwaters

[Intro]

One, two, three, four, five, six

[Verse 1]

I was born up on high ground where the Cheat River winds

Many of my kin worked in the old coal mines

I grew up hunting, fishing and trapping

By the headwaters of my life

[Verse 2]

My number was called when I turned eighteen

For my dear Uncle Sam, I became a marine

I fought two long years and gave all that I had

Lost my soul in Khe Sanh, never thought I'd get back

[Chorus]

To the headwaters

Where I'll raise a few daughters

With the girl of my dreams

By the brookie stream

Keep my slack out the line

This world'll be fine

Leaving me behind

At the headwaters

[Bridge]

I've traveled the world, near, far and wide

Laid eyes on its wonders, but nowhere to reside

There ain't nowhere to hide

[Chorus]

Like the headwaters

Where I'll raise a few daughters

With a girl of my dreams

By the brookie stream

Keep my slack out the line

This world'll be fine

And leave me behind

At the headwaters

[Outro]

Leave me behind

At the headwaters

Leave me behind

At the headwaters
