I can't recall a time when
You weren't standing there front and center in my mind
Home of my forefathers or was it three
That shaped your shores for 300 some-odd years
And as I've traveled wide, and ventured far
I can always feel your currents gently pulling me back
Oh Chesapeake
You're coursing through my veins
Sure as winters bring the rain...
Ohh Chesapeake
It's been so many years It feels like only yesterday
Loyal and ready by your weathered docks
Our old skipjack's rarin' for the deep
A noisy raft of waterfowl take to the air
That for longer than man have called this bay their home
Come and gone with the seasons like the ice and snow
A cycle that's repeated a thousand times
Oh Chesapeake
You're coursing through my veins
Sure as winters bring the rain
Ohh Chesapeake
It's been so many years
It feels like only yesterday
No prose so eloquent or rhyme so sweet
Can shine a light on all the secrets you keep
No high flying plane or satellite
Can describe the beauty of your moonlit nights
Oh Chesapeake
You're coursing through my veins
Sure as winters bring the rain
Ohh Chesapeake, Ohh Chesapeake
It's been so many years
It feels like only yesterday see more
