[Verse 1]
I was out on the road tonight makin' real good time
Headin' out of the frozen north for the Mason-Dixon line
I pulled off at sunrise and I stopped up on some bridge
And looked out on your Blue Ridge

[Verse 2]
I could hear the echoes tumblin' down the gaps
Cannon fire and musket shots and someone playin' taps
A hundred fifty years ago I was a Yankee in some ditch
Fightin' for your Blue Ridge
Tryin' to take your Blue Ridge

[Bridge]
Lift me up Virginia, carry me to Caroline
Set me down in Georgia right on time

[Verse 3]
From the Shenandoah all the way to Tennessee
The fearsome highland warlords, the mighty Cherokee
They held these ancient misty hills with a willful iron fist
All along your Blue Ridge
All along your Blue Ridge (Yeah)
