GRANDPA, I'VE BEEN THINKING ABOUT YOU LATELY
|
WONDERING IF YOU'D FOUND PEACE OF MIND
|
I GUESS YOU'D BE PROUD TO KNOW YOUR GRANDSONS
|
NEVER CROSSED THAT MASON-DIXON LINE
|
|
AND I STILL SING THE OLD SONGS THAT YOU TAUGHT ME
|
AND I STILL PRAY TO JESUS NOW AND THEN
|
AND JUST LIKE YOU I WISH THAT HE WOULD SAVE ME
|
TO SEE THE DAY THE SOUTH WILL RISE AGAIN
|
|
DADDY WORE HIS PURPLE HEART SO PROUDLY
|
LONG BEFORE I TURNED INTO A MAN
|
BURIED WITH OUR FLAG ACROSS HIS CASKET
|
I WAS STILL TOO YOUNG TO UNDERSTAND
|
|
MAMA SPENT HER LAST YEARS IN THE GARDEN
|
WHILE I TOOK MY TURN BEHIND THE GUN
|
LORD, I'D GIVE MY LIFE TO FIND THE FREEDOM
|
LOST WITHIN THE OLD SONGS THAT YOU SUNG
|
|
AND I STILL SING THE OLD SONGS THAT YOU TAUGHT ME
|
AND I STILL PRAY TO JESUS NOW AND THEN
|
AND JUST LIKE YOU I WISH THAT HE WOULD SAVE ME
|
TO SEE THE DAY THE SOUTH WILL RISE AGAIN
|
|
