Spread wings overhead, rushing river below, Pathways and trails through the cedar and oak, The breeze and birds sing you along, In the Tennessee air with a Tennessee song. Lace up your hiking boots and a nice warm coat, Grab a couple of friends and see where they go. Written about Cumberland Gap, Tennessee.

Echoes of the empty are the only sound, Voices from the past whisper through the trees, Rustling up the dead leaves drying on the ground, Only oak and hickory growing where a small town used to be. Written about Tennessee’s Ghost Towns.
