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 wanna taste these tears again
 I don't ever wanna 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 wanna taste these tears again
