O' My Chesapeake

When I was a young man

I released my feet

And they carried me strong

Across the trouble I'd meet

When without peace

When weary the most

They'd head for the east

And I'd sleep on the coastWhen the summer's wrap

Come knock on my door

See my friends and their pipes

Sit upon my porch

Alive was the highway

The light was the bridge

I got high in a way

I haven't got since

Oh my Chesapeake

Oh my Chesapeake

Forget all the things

My soul does seek

The boy needs no dinner

When the tobacco is sweet

I'll sleep tonight on the ChesapeakeWe ran down our night in rundown hotels

With balcony cries and bottles and bells

To abandoned weeks, to hangover days

To not quit tomorrow what we could quit todayOh my Chesapeake

Oh my Chesapeake

Forget all the things

My soul does seek

I guess the moment is best

When the moment is brief

I'll sleep tonight on the Chesapeake

And now every summer I hear no call

If my friends are not lawyers

They don't work at all

You can call that man history

Who lives in the past

Can you blame him for asking for something to last?Oh my Chesapeake

Oh my Chesapeake

Forget all the things

My soul does seek

Another Sunday dead

Another needless week

I'll sleep tonight upon the Chesapeake
