Lyrics

[Verse 1]
I was out on your road tonight
Drinking, real good time
Heading out on the frozen north
For the Mason-Dixon line
[Verse 2]
I pulled off at sunrise
And I stopped up on some bridge
And look out on the Blue Ridge
[Verse 3]
I could hear the echoes
Tumbling down the gaps
Cannon fire and musket shots
And someone playing taps
[Verse 4]
A hundred fifty years ago
I was a Yankee in some ditch
Fighting for the Blue Ridge
Tryna take your Blue Ridge
[Verse 5]
Could it be up, Virginia?
Carolina, Caroline
Set me down in Georgia
Right on time
[Verse 6]
From the Shenandoah
All the way to Tennessee
The fearsome Haliwa warlords
The mighty Cherokee
[Verse 7]
They help these ancient misty hills
With a willful iron fist
All along your Blue Ridge
All along your Blue Ridge
[Verse 8]
Yeah
