Like my father
|
And his father, and his father before
|
Watch the soil burn in the fire
|
War after war
|
Done things I didn’t know I could
|
For the common good
|
Tomorrow I ride at dawn
|
|
Give a man a hundred years
|
And he’ll want a hundred more
|
Give him a hundred choices
|
And he still chooses war
|
From Salem Poor to Genghis Khan
|
Tomorrow I ride at dawn
|
|
I was born for battle
|
I was born to lead
|
I was born to help those who have dreams of being free
|
Brother stop your crying, sister dry your eyes
|
You’ll hear my medals ringing from Shreveport to Shabagan
|
Tomorrow I ride at dawn
|
|
At first light, I march to battle
|
Not my own life, but brothers’ I must save
|
And when you hear those pipes and drummers
|
You’ll know I marched to glory or proudly to my grave
|
Tell my loved ones they must carry on
|
For tomorrow I ride at dawn
|
|
Tomorrow I ride at dawn
|
Tomorrow I ride at dawn
|
Tell my loved ones they must carry on
|
For tomorrow I ride at dawn
|
|

I Ride At Dawn
