The Road to Kaintuck

We're going west to Kaintuck

Down the road through Moccasin Gap

Down the Wilderness Road

The Dug Road the old Reedy Creek Road

The Road down Troublesome Road through Moccasin Gap

There was a time when going way out west meant going out to Kaintuck

The dark and bloody ground as the Indians called it

Indian wars were raging and men like Daniel Boone and Michael Stoner

Came down the Wilderness Road like countless families did

Through a place in southwestern Virginia called Big Moccasin Gap

Well, it's a hot day in '73

And this is my wife and kids with me

Daniel Boone lost his boy the other day

Young Jim Boone's dead not 20 miles away

The wagons turned and went back home

Even Daniel couldn't make it alone

Well, I guess maybe Daniel could

But he stopped awhile in Castlewood

Well, if you love your wife and love your baby, man

You better turn those wagons back as soon as you can

Every Indian in them hills has gone berserk

And you're never going to make it to Kaintuck

Oh, I bet I'm going to make it to Kaintuck

We're going west to Kaintuck

Down the road through Moccasin Gap
