By Jeremiah's Vision

She lives in a trailer house on the banks of the Coosa

And tends bar there at the legion in Rome

Three nights a week she walks two miles into town

To back down drunks she went to high school with

     

A strong mountain jaw

Her spine the blue ridge

Lost in these low whispering hills

I am a lifer

Filled to the gills

With a highlander's faith

     

Mama used to say us boys would be safe

While the dooms of men fall through time

If we cling to the roots, polish our boots

And listen for the sound of god's laughter

     

A strong mountain jaw

Her spine the blue ridge

Lost in these low whispering hills

I am a lifer

Filled to the gills

With a highlander's faith

I am a lifer

Filled to gills

With a highlander's faith
