Headwaters
(1,2,3,4,5,6)
I was born up on high ground where the Cheat River winds
Many of my kin worked in the old coal mines
I grew up hunting, fishing and trapping
By the headwaters of my life
My number was called when I turned eighteen
For my dear Uncle Sam I became a marine
I fought two long years and gave all that I had
Lost my soul in Khe Sahn, never thought I'd get back
To the headwaters
Where I'll raise a few daughters
With a girl of my dreams by the brookie stream
Keep my slack out the line, this world will be fine
Leaving me behind
At the headwaters
I've traveled the world near far and wide
Laid eyes on its wonders, but nowhere to reside
There ain't nowhere to hide
Like the headwaters
Where I'll raise a few daughters
With a girl of my dreams by the brookie stream
Keep my slack out the line, this world will be fine
Leave me behind
At the headwaters
Leave me behind
At the headwaters
Leave me behind
At the headwaters
I was born up on high ground where the Cheat River winds
Many of my kin worked in the old coal mines
I grew up hunting, fishing and trapping
By the headwaters of my life
My number was called when I turned eighteen
For my dear Uncle Sam I became a marine
I fought two long years and gave all that I had
Lost my soul in Khe Sahn, never thought I'd get back
To the headwaters
Where I'll raise a few daughters
With a girl of my dreams by the brookie stream
Keep my slack out the line, this world will be fine
Leaving me behind
At the headwaters
I've traveled the world near far and wide
Laid eyes on its wonders, but nowhere to reside
There ain't nowhere to hide
Like the headwaters
Where I'll raise a few daughters
With a girl of my dreams by the brookie stream
Keep my slack out the line, this world will be fine
Leave me behind
At the headwaters
Leave me behind
At the headwaters
Leave me behind
At the headwaters
