Chickamauga Songtext
von Uncle Tupelo

You 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

You catch yourself in midair thinking
Your dreams could never be bought
I couldn′t help you then, and I guess I can't help you now

When it's jousting is for pleasure
And 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 those tears again
I don't ever want to taste those tears again

Appalachian′s 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 those tears again
