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]
