Chickamauga

                                  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

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

When jousting is for pleasure

Pleasure is way out of hand



The time is right for getting out while we still can

Chickamauga's where I've been

Solitude is where I'm bound

I don't ever want to taste these tears again



I don't ever want to taste these tears again

Appalachian, so patient

The lessons we've traveled

As soon as we're out we're kicking our way back in



Fighting fire with unlit matches

From our respective trenches

No authority can clean up this mess we're in

A miracle might point the way



To solutions we're after

And avert our chronic impending disaster

Chickamauga's where I've been

Solitude is where I'm bound



I don't ever want to taste these tears again
