Chickamauga Lyrics - Singles - Uncle Tupelo

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 

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 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
