Tennessee Waterfalls Worth the Hike
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.
