Gatlinburg

Lyrics

[Verse 1] In the Tennesse mountains There's a town Where two boys stood at the top of the hill Like Kings, burned it down Just to show that They're bigger than All the forces of nature They are man [Instrumental break] [Verse 2] Watch the cars As they pass Like a river, one after the other Go down through the hot red grain Not return to Their old homes Start a new life in a neighbouring county By those blinking road signs [Instrumental break] [Verse 3] Still sits her soft sturdy shell Eerie how unchanged Unaffected, that old white finish After the flame Under those sleepless eyes Bags like smoke Frozen, her breathless skies After the flame [Verse 4] So take down what you can't build back And build up what cannot be touched Be the lawyers of don't stop 'til you get what you want Live by the sword But this mountain will always stand Her blue eyes and her wrinkled hands Will not be broken by no boy or no King or no man She still stands She still stands She still stands
