Whispers of Chattanooga

I love to see that sunrise glow, begin I love to see that sunrise glow, it's clear 'Cause my home, it's nestled 'round here Breathin' wildflowers as they start to appear If I'm breathin' wildflowers as old hills reappear I'll take my walks where the river bends, so dear Through the mist, I watch the morning light, unflinchin' See that mist lift off the Tennessee, it's bewitchin' Got that hound dog layin' by my side, we're grinnin' 'Cause this place is more than just a view, it's livin' We're ridin' down to where the Sequatchie flows, unfettered Past the bloom of dogwood and the redbud treasures Headin' up to Lookout Mountain's mighty stance, so grand Catch the glory of the sunrise, over this promised land See the azaleas blushin' as the morning breaks free With the rolling of the river, it's a sweet harmony Down in cool Chattanooga, the city's waking slow Magnolias opening, in the soft dawn's gentle glow In Jasper Highlands, the breeze whispers names Of pioneers, settlers, the wild untamed Rolling hills echo with stories untold Majestic pines stand, so rugged and bold From Soddy Daisy, with its laughter and light To the quiet banks where the stars kiss the night
