lyrics

Deep in Chatham County
The Old Souls take the stage
Glimpses of myself in the music
And the hills where they play

Reflections echoed in the songs of a sage
As I find my feet muddied dancing in the clay
In this breath of life I could fall into your eyes
A fleeting moment under Carolina skies

I don't know if I will feel this way again
A broken spirit healed on these lands
Everything is so in tune
To the fire
the fire under the moon

Tonight we taste the homesteader's dream
As we find meaning in this evening's revelry

I don't know if I will feel this way again
A broken spirit healed on these lands
Everything is so in tune
To the fire, the fire under the moon

I remember driving up the road
When the dust cleared
James said happy Shakori
In his bear hug he said here we write the better pages of our story
He said don't worry I'm never far from here
Sip that Irish whiskey listen close and you'll hear

Deep in Chatham County
The Old Souls take the stage
Glimpses of myself in the music
And the hills where they play
In these hills James still plays
