East Of The Massanutten

Just south of Leesburg Where Billy fought with Reb Some ran till their knees hurt Till they couldn't feel their legs Tell me why am I still running now? For freedom I guess To my forty acres Running full speed ahead Out west to the desert Where the sun shines forever Or up north to the city Make a few bad investments I'm not one for gambling but I'll take my chances It's about time for a blessing I won't settle for less Cause I know that out there's A land full of dreams With milk, gold and honey Just waiting for me So I'll pack me a little duffle Skip the goodbyes, and leave 'Cause East of the Massanutten There's nothing for me 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 nothing Then you're better off dead 'Cause I know that out there's A land full of dreams With milk, gold and honey Just waiting for me So I'll pack me a little duffle Skip the goodbyes and leave 'Cause East of the Massanutten There's nothing for me There's nothing for me I don't know where I'm heading 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 'Cause I know that out there's A land full of dreams With milk, gold and honey Just waiting for me So I'll pack me a little duffle Skip the goodbyes and leave 'Cause East of the Massanutten There's nothing for me
