Uncle Tupelo - Chickamauga lyrics

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
