Born up on the Blue Ridge at the Carolina line

Like fire on a mountain, running wild in those days

Now it's parachutes and combat boots and camouflaged airplanes

Singing carry me back to Virginia

In a market square where the bells were ringing loud to fill the air
G.                    D.                      C
Levi gazed his eyes out to the rocket glare
G.                                       D.                    C.                     Am
Beyond the desert and the ocean, to the farthest fields of home

And when the bullets pierced his body he was already gone
