Lyrics
The night came creepin' in like fog upon the mountain
Set the orange lights on the trucks aglow
The jake brakes and the engines started growlin'
Truckers tryin' to take the downgrade slow
And the people finished what they had in Nashville
An off-ramp led 'em safe back to their homes
I drifted to the side and felt a rumble
That shook me to the marrow of my bones
Oh Chattanooga
Lights in the valley twinklin' like the stars
Oh Chattanooga
It's just too dark to see where you are
I knew a man who swam the mighty Mississippi
Minnesota down to Louisian'
But he could not fight the current from his whiskey
And he drowned in just a puddle in Cheyenne
Seems the tide of war can leave you with a victory
But the battlefields are never far behind
Well babe I know you don't believe my story
But I swear it was true in my mind
Oh Chattanooga
Lights in the valley twinklin' like the stars
Oh Chattanooga
It's just too dark to see where you are
And the mountain air bit me with a shiver
Blowin' me across that Georgia line
And it felt like I was swimmin' down that river
To fight the battle for the thousandth time
Well honey this entire world is filled with strangers
It's mighty hard to tell a friend from foe
And I can't explain how joy can fade to anger
But I pray it's something you will never know
Oh Chattanooga
Lights in the valley twinklin' like the stars
Oh Chattanooga
It's just too dark to see where you are
Oh Chattanooga
Lights in the valley twinklin' like the stars
Oh Chattanooga
It's just too dark to see where you are
