"Headwaters" lyrics

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'll be fine
And leave me behind
At the headwaters

Leave me behind
At the headwaters
Leave me behind
At the headwaters
