Farewell To Civilization
Lyrics:
To the wilderness I go to dwell not as one
Who is hiding or fleeing the gun
But that I may realize at some mature age
A dream that in youth I had once
In the wildwood I'll find a cleanliness there
Health of body and mind I will wear
Unfettered, unindebted, the natural life
In peace I can live in its care
There's a rock on a hill overlooking the town
Where the lone pilgrim lay his head down
And the Smokies watch over his spirit today
I wonder if he's resting now
CHORUS
This vision of the Great Smoky Mountains preserved
The mystery the secrets that Kephart observed
This scholar this author this outdoorsman took
The neighbors he loved, pictured them in his book
