East of the Massanutten

[Verse 1]
Just south of Leesburg
Where Blue fought with Reb
Some ran 'til their knees hurt
'Til they couldn't feel their legs
Tell me, why am I still runnin' now?
For freedom, I guess
To my forty acres, runnin' full speed ahead
Out West to the desert, where sun shines forever
Or up north to the city, make a few bad investments
I'm not one for gamblin', but I'll take my chances
It's 'bout time for a blessing, I won't settle for less

[Chorus]
'Cause I know that out there's
A land land full of dreams
With milk, gold and honey
Just waitin' for me
So I'll pack mе a little duffle
Skip the goodbyеs and leave
'Cause East of the Massanutten
There's nothin' for me

[Verse 2]
Met a believer
Had all kinds of plans
Was drunk on ambition
No cards in his hands
But you can't beat the dealer
So grab what you can
If you wind up with nothin'
Than you're better off dead

[Chorus]
'Cause I know that out there's
A land land full of dreams
With milk, gold and honey
Just waitin' for me
So I'll pack me a little duffle
Skip the goodbyes and leave
'Cause East of the Massanutten
There's nothin' for me
There's nothin' for me

[Bridge]
I don't know where I'm headin' now
I'll do anything except turn around
I ain't seen an exit for miles
So I'll stop at this motel for now

[Chorus]
'Cause I know that out there's
A land land full of dreams
With milk, gold and honey
Just waitin' for me
So I'll pack me a little duffle
Skip the goodbyes and leave
'Cause East of the Massanutten
There's nothin' for me
