Another Side Lyrics

Another Side lyrics

We came out from sheffield and they put us on the line
You could smell the
powder burning and man it hurt my eyes
They knew them boys were tired and
weak
We were fresh and we were strong
We could not what to blast away and
make our presence known
Every time I took my aim and got one in my
sight
In my heart I knew the way and this way was not
right

Chorus
I guess my daddy would be proud but my mamma she's
ashamed
And I know deep down we need a change
Them Northern boys are
friends of mine
But I've got my Southern pride
I'm standing here a
fighting wishing there was another side

We burned each others crops and
fields
And took the very best
We fought are we back and forth and they
puts us to the test
I know that some things are wrong
But what gave them
the right
To point their righteous fingers and expect us not to fight
We
all cried on the night they burned Atlanta down
How much more can we take
and still stand our ground

Chorus
I guess my daddy would be proud but
my mamma she's ashamed
And I know deep down we need a change
Them colored
boys are friends of mine
But I've got my Southern pride
I'm standing here
a fighting wishing there was another side

In four years the smoke had
cleared
And I went back to the farm
Little brother met me at the bridge
and he held out his arms
He was thin and weak and wounded and dressed in
Yankee blue
Well I cried and I held him and together we both knew
If it
could be done other there would be a better way
Still one family and one
nation oh but what a price we pay

Chorus
I guess my daddy would be
proud but my mamma she's ashamed
And I know deep down we need a
change
Now some of them boys were friends of mine
But dang this Southern
pride
I'm standing here a crying wishing there was another side
I'm
wishing there was another side
Wishing there was other side
