O My Chesapeake

[00:10.82] When I was a young man
[00:14.49] I released my feet
[00:19.87] And they carried me strong
[00:23.45] Across the trouble I'd meet
[00:29.84] When without peace
[00:32.51] When weary the most
[00:37.95] They'd head for the east
[00:40.61] And I'd sleep on the coast
[00:48.78] When the summer's wrap
[00:51.56] Come knock on my door
[00:58.78] See my friends and their pipes
[01:01.44] Sit upon my porch
[01:08.68] Alive was the highway
[01:11.32] The light was the bridge
[01:15.85] I got high in a way
[01:19.56] I haven't got since
[01:24.01] Oh my Chesapeake
[01:26.75] Oh my Chesapeake
[01:30.35] Forget all the things
[01:33.93] My soul does seek
[01:39.38] The boy needs no dinner
[01:42.04] When the tobacco is sweet
[01:46.59] I'll sleep tonight on the Chesapeake
[02:02.82] We ran down our night in rundown hotels
[02:13.64] With balcony cries and bottles and bells
[02:24.58] To abandoned weeks, to hangover days
[02:32.65] To not quit tomorrow what we could quit today
[02:40.73] Oh my Chesapeake
[02:43.43] Oh my Chesapeake
[02:48.08] Forget all the things
[02:50.75] My soul does seek
[02:55.25] I guess the moment is best
[02:58.87] When the moment is brief
[03:03.32] I'll sleep tonight on the Chesapeake
[03:38.01] And now every summer I hear no call
[03:49.71] If my friends are not lawyers
[03:53.34] They don't work at all
[03:58.76] You can call that man history
[04:02.32] Who lives in the past
[04:07.72] Can you blame him for asking for something to last?
[04:15.03] Oh my Chesapeake
[04:17.71] Oh my Chesapeake
[04:22.27] Forget all the things
[04:24.92] My soul does seek
[04:30.33] Another Sunday dead
[04:33.03] Another needless week
[04:38.58] I'll sleep tonight upon the Chesapeake
[05:00.15]
