Red River Gorge
by Thomas Geraghty

 
It's a Natural Bridge 
That leads me to 
The Red River Gorge.
 
It's the best land in Kentucky 
There is so much to explore.
You can climb up to a mountaintop 
And let your thoughts run free.
 
At the Red River Gorge of Kentucky

 
I feel my body quiver 
As I look down a mighty cliff.
And I know I see true freedom 
There is no way I resist.
Just like a lovely lady so beautiful to see.
 
At the Red River Gorge of Kentucky

 
Well I'm on my sacred journey 
To my lovely pilgrimage 
And I know that when I get there 
I'll feel complete tranquility 
And I know that I belong here 
It's become a part of me
 
It's my Red River Gorge of Kentucky

I believe it was written in 1987 and recorded on an inexpensive jam box.
It is a tribute to the Red River Gorge in the Daniel Boone National Forest. 
A bunch of us used to go there to hike, camp and just get away from the city for a while. 
The Gorge is awesome with its natural arches like Sky Bridge, Princess Arch 
and tall wooded cliffs like Courthouse Rock and Chimney Top.
