I'm gonna walk the streets of Germantown
I'm gonna look out from the banks of the Alleghany River
I'm gonna find my people where they were laid
Gonna find mistakes where they were made
I don't believe in original sin
So it must trace back to depression and kin
Ends with the one who's standing so near
I'm gonna take a hard look at my face in the mirror
It all has to end with me, end with me
It all has to end with me, end with me
Did you walk did you walk until your feet were blistered
Did you stand in the shoes of a brave man enlisted
Did you marry the girl/ the first to say yes
And did she die in your arms held close to your chest
It all has to end with me, end with me
It all has to end with me, end with me
When I look in those brown eyes with your long brown hair
I can see years gone I can see something there
The stars and the bars from way back when
And I know/yes I know/ that I've got to bring it to an end
It all has to end with me, end with me
It all has to end with me, end with me
It all has to end with me, end with me
It all has to end with me, end with me
I'm gonna look out from the banks of the Alleghany River
I'm gonna find my people where they were laid
Gonna find mistakes where they were made
I don't believe in original sin
So it must trace back to depression and kin
Ends with the one who's standing so near
I'm gonna take a hard look at my face in the mirror
It all has to end with me, end with me
It all has to end with me, end with me
Did you walk did you walk until your feet were blistered

The stars and the bars from way back when
And I know/yes I know/ that I've got to bring it to an end
It all has to end with me, end with me
It all has to end with me, end with me
It all has to end with me, end with me
It all has to end with me, end with me
