Buddy you and I go way back
Camp Lejeune, all through high school, and before that.
So I don't mind tellin you I'm scared to death.
The doctor is goin in on the 25th
It's the same thing my daddy had
Thank God they caught it fast.
But if something should happen
Stop in some time and say hello to Catherine
You and Marianne could always keep her laughing
Because shes gonna need a lot of that
Take her out to a movie
It's gonna take sometime before shes back on her feet.
I know you think I'll be fine and I'm talkin crazy
But theres always that chance
That's why I'm askin
If something should happen
Little Nathan is growing up so fast
This November he'll turn 10
He wants to play quarterback.
I'm supposed to coach his team this fall
But I may not get to afterall
He's gonna need someone to catch a pass
And to throw it back
If something should happen
Oh promise me you'll take that boy out campin
Throw a line out in the water every now and then
Answer any questions that he has
Maybe once he gets older
You can sit and have that first cold beer together
And tell him a couple stories on his father
He's always known your my best friend.
That's why I'm askin
If something should happen
I hope I live until I'm 80
And I get to see my son get married
And have babies
And make a million more memories with my wife.
Yeah buddy I pray alright
But if it's my time to leave
Could you watch over them for me?
If something should happen [6x]
Work And Worry lyrics - Darryl Worley
An old mans name is Johnson
He had a mansion on a hill
A brand new car, a lumberyard
And a big ol'stack of bills
Folks around these parks say he could buy the whole damn town
But all the money in the world
Wont help poor Amos now
Work and worry
Work and worry
Yeah old man Johnson done checked out early
He spent all his time on work and worry
Work and worry
Work and worry
Yeah if you wanna leave this world in a hurry
Spend all your time on work and worry
Why can't you take it easy man
You work hard all your life
Still got time to go wait in line
Gettin to know your wife
You can pick that shovel
Till you draw your final breath
We'll make sure your tombstone reads:
"He worked himself to death"
Work and worry
Work and worry

And your eyes get blurry

If It Hadn't Been For Love lyrics - Darryl Worley
I never would have hitchhiked to Birmingham
If it hadn't been for love
I never would have caught the train to Louisiana
If it hadn't been for love
Never would have run through the blinding rain
Without one dollar to my name
If it hadn't been, if it hadn't been for love
I never would have seen the trouble that I'm in
If it hadn't been for love
I would have been gone like a wayward wind
If it hadn't been for love
Nobody knows it better than me
I wouldn't be WISHING THAT I WAS FREE
If it hadn't been, if it hadn't been for love
[Chorus]
Four cold walls against my will
At least I know she's lying still
Four cold walls without parole
Lord have mercy on my soul
Never would have gone to that side of town
If it hadn't been for love
Never would have took a MIND TO TRACK HER DOWN
If it hadn't been for love.
I never would have loaded up a .44
Put myself behind a jail house door
If it hadn't been, if it hadn't been for love.
If it hadn't been, if it hadn't been for love
[Chorus]
Four cold walls against my will.
At least I know she's lying still.
Four cold walls without parole
Lord have mercy on my soul
I never would have hitchhiked to Birmingham
If it hadn't been for love
I never would have caught the train to Louisiana
If it hadn't been for love
I never would have loaded up a .44
Put myself behind a jail house door
If it hadn't been, if it hadn't been for love
If it hadn't been, if it hadn't been for love
If it hadn't been, if it hadn't been for love
If it hadn't been for love
I never would have caught the train to Louisiana
If it hadn't been for love
Never would have run through the blinding rain
Without one dollar to my name
If it hadn't been, if it hadn't been for love
I never would have seen the trouble that I'm in
If it hadn't been for love
I would have been gone like a wayward wind
If it hadn't been for love
Nobody knows it better than me
I wouldn't be WISHING THAT I WAS FREE
If it hadn't been, if it hadn't been for love
[Chorus]
Four cold walls against my will
At least I know she's lying still
Four cold walls without parole
Lord have mercy on my soul
Never would have gone to that side of town
If it hadn't been for love
Never would have took a MIND TO TRACK HER DOWN
If it hadn't been for love.
I never would have loaded up a .44
Put myself behind a jail house door
If it hadn't been, if it hadn't been for love.
If it hadn't been, if it hadn't been for love
[Chorus]
Four cold walls against my will.
At least I know she's lying still.
Four cold walls without parole
Lord have mercy on my soul
I never would have hitchhiked to Birmingham
If it hadn't been for love
I never would have caught the train to Louisiana
If it hadn't been for love
I never would have loaded up a .44

If it hadn't been, if it hadn't been for love
If it hadn't been, if it hadn't been for love
If it hadn't been, if it hadn't been for love
Was It Good For You lyrics - Darryl Worley
Now don’t you worry, baby, I won’t tell.
I’ll keep our little secret to myself.
That’s fine, no games, no strings if you say so.
But tell me just one thing before you go.
Was it good for you? ‘Cause it was good for me.
Was it anything and everything you thought it’d be?
Hey, I was being bad, but baby, you were too.
And it was good for me. Was it good for you?
Ah, this ain’t gonna leave me for awhile.
Not every girl can drive a boy that wild.
Yeah, you took me places I ain’t never been.
And that’s one trip I’d love to take again. Hey…
Was it good for you? ‘Cause it was good for me.
Was it anything and everything you thought it’d be?
Hey, I was being bad, but honey, you were too.
And it was good for me. Was it good for you?
Oh baby, what you did, you just can’t undo. And it was good for me.
Was it good for you? It was good for me. Say it was good for you.
Oh, was it good for you, baby? It sure was good for me.
Got a little crazy, didn’t it?
I’ll keep our little secret to myself.
That’s fine, no games, no strings if you say so.
But tell me just one thing before you go.
Was it good for you? ‘Cause it was good for me.
Was it anything and everything you thought it’d be?
Hey, I was being bad, but baby, you were too.
And it was good for me. Was it good for you?
Ah, this ain’t gonna leave me for awhile.
Not every girl can drive a boy that wild.
Yeah, you took me places I ain’t never been.
And that’s one trip I’d love to take again. Hey…
Was it good for you? ‘Cause it was good for me.
Was it anything and everything you thought it’d be?
Hey, I was being bad, but honey, you were too.
And it was good for me. Was it good for you?
Oh baby, what you did, you just can’t undo. And it was good for me.
Was it good for you? It was good for me. Say it was good for you.
Oh, was it good for you, baby? It sure was good for me.
Got a little crazy, didn’t it?
Find Me lyrics - Darryl Worley
I’ve looked high and low. I’ve searched near and far.
And after all this time, still I don’t know where you are.
I’ve done all I know to do, so girl, I guess it’s up to you to…
Find me. Baby, I’ve been waiting.
Everyday I’m praying you’ll find me, lost in all this lonely.
Longing for you only, baby, please find me.
At least a thousand times I’ve seen you in my dreams,
Standing there alone, just barely out of reach.
But in the early morning light I wake up again and cry.
Find me. Baby, I’ve been waiting.
Everyday I’m praying you’ll find me, lost in all this lonely.
Longing for you only, baby, please find me.
Find me.
Find me. Baby, I’ve been waiting.
Everyday I’m praying you’ll find me, lost in all this lonely.
Longing for you only, baby, please find me.
Find me. Oh, find me.
And after all this time, still I don’t know where you are.
I’ve done all I know to do, so girl, I guess it’s up to you to…
Find me. Baby, I’ve been waiting.
Everyday I’m praying you’ll find me, lost in all this lonely.
Longing for you only, baby, please find me.
At least a thousand times I’ve seen you in my dreams,
Standing there alone, just barely out of reach.
But in the early morning light I wake up again and cry.
Find me. Baby, I’ve been waiting.
Everyday I’m praying you’ll find me, lost in all this lonely.
Longing for you only, baby, please find me.
Find me.
Find me. Baby, I’ve been waiting.
Everyday I’m praying you’ll find me, lost in all this lonely.
Longing for you only, baby, please find me.
Find me. Oh, find me.
Wake Up America lyrics - Darry Worley
Wake up America I got a problem
something you may not believe
there is poison in the darkness
spreading like a bad disease
I never thought I'd find myself in this condition
sitting by while children die from their addictions
[Chorus:]
I'm just a small town I have no tongue to speak
I have no arms to hold them while they're dying in my streets.
So I have to wonder does any body care.
Lord is there any hope out there?
Wake up America I got a problem
Venom flowing thru my veins
I see families town to pieces
By crystal meth and crack cocaine
Some of those sworn to provide us with protection
Just turn their backs and cut a deal with the infection
[Chorus:]
I'm just a small town I have no tongue to speak
I have no arms to hold them while their dying in my streets
So I have to wonder does any body care.
Lord is there any hope out there?
all those years i gave them peaceful sanctuary
now I'm a grave yard where the innocent are buried
[Chorus:]
I'm just a small town I have no tongue to speak
I have no arms to hold them while their dying in my streets
So I have to wonder does any body care.
Lord is there any hope out there?
Lord is there any hope out there?
Oh is there any hope out there?
wake up America I got a problem
[fading out]
I got a problem
it's like venom flowing thru my veins
something you may not believe
there is poison in the darkness
spreading like a bad disease
I never thought I'd find myself in this condition
sitting by while children die from their addictions
[Chorus:]
I'm just a small town I have no tongue to speak
I have no arms to hold them while they're dying in my streets.
So I have to wonder does any body care.
Lord is there any hope out there?
Wake up America I got a problem
Venom flowing thru my veins
I see families town to pieces
By crystal meth and crack cocaine
Some of those sworn to provide us with protection
Just turn their backs and cut a deal with the infection
[Chorus:]
I'm just a small town I have no tongue to speak
I have no arms to hold them while their dying in my streets
So I have to wonder does any body care.
Lord is there any hope out there?
all those years i gave them peaceful sanctuary
now I'm a grave yard where the innocent are buried
[Chorus:]
I'm just a small town I have no tongue to speak
I have no arms to hold them while their dying in my streets
So I have to wonder does any body care.
Lord is there any hope out there?
Lord is there any hope out there?
Oh is there any hope out there?
wake up America I got a problem
[fading out]
I got a problem
it's like venom flowing thru my veins
What Makes A Man Do That lyrics - Darryl Worley
What makes a man promise her forever
when he knows damn well that's something he can't do
why does he look into her eyes and tell her lies right off the bat
oh i wonder what makes a man do that
what makes a man lay down with a stranger
when the one he loves is waiting up at home
why does he beg for trust then tear it up behind her back
oh i wonder what makes a man do that
what makes a man go a stray and take a chance on loosing everything
what makes a man think it's okay to play games with her heart
oh why would he take two lives and slowly drive them both off track
oh i wonder what makes a man do that
what makes a man go asking for forgiveness
when he knows it's something
that he don't deserve
oh and why does he cry when she denies what he has asked
oh i wonder what makes a man do that
what makes a man go a stray and take a chance on loosing everything
what makes a man think it's okay to play games with her heart
oh why would he take two lives and slowly drive them both off track
oh i wonder what makes a man do that
Lord I wonder what makes a man do that
when he knows damn well that's something he can't do
why does he look into her eyes and tell her lies right off the bat
oh i wonder what makes a man do that
what makes a man lay down with a stranger
when the one he loves is waiting up at home
why does he beg for trust then tear it up behind her back
oh i wonder what makes a man do that
what makes a man go a stray and take a chance on loosing everything
what makes a man think it's okay to play games with her heart
oh why would he take two lives and slowly drive them both off track
oh i wonder what makes a man do that
what makes a man go asking for forgiveness
when he knows it's something
that he don't deserve
oh and why does he cry when she denies what he has asked
oh i wonder what makes a man do that
what makes a man go a stray and take a chance on loosing everything
what makes a man think it's okay to play games with her heart
oh why would he take two lives and slowly drive them both off track
oh i wonder what makes a man do that
Lord I wonder what makes a man do that
Better Than I Deserve lyrics - Darryl Worley
It’s cold out this mornin’. It’s raining, it’s pourin’.
My back’s acting up, but so what, I’m alive and I’m breathin’.
My baby’s still mad from that fight that we had.
But her stomping around in the kitchen sure beats her leavin’.
I’m doin’ better that I deserve.
I guess I could complain, oh but things could be worse.
There’s a lot of folks out there with a lot of good reasons to curse.
All things considered I’m doin’ better than I deserve.
Well, maybe someday all the debt’ll be paid off.
I’ll have all I want, but for now, hey, I don’t mind dreamin’.
‘Cause I got what I need. Got this house with some trees in the yard.
I got kids and a wife and a life I believe in.
I’m doin’ better that I deserve.
I guess I could complain, oh but things could be worse.
There’s a lot of folks out there with a lot of good reasons to curse.
All things considered I’m doin’ better than I deserve.
I’m doin’ better than I deserve.
The wolf ain’t at my door, and I ain’t out of work.
No matter how bad it gets, someone somewhere’s got it worse.
All things considered, I’m doin’ better than I deserve.
It’s cold out this mornin’. It’s raining, it’s pourin’.
My back’s acting up, but guess what, I’m alive and I’m breathin’.
Oh yeah, thank ya.
Well, maybe someday all the debt’ll be paid off.
My back’s acting up, but so what, I’m alive and I’m breathin’.
My baby’s still mad from that fight that we had.
But her stomping around in the kitchen sure beats her leavin’.
I’m doin’ better that I deserve.
I guess I could complain, oh but things could be worse.
There’s a lot of folks out there with a lot of good reasons to curse.
All things considered I’m doin’ better than I deserve.
Well, maybe someday all the debt’ll be paid off.
I’ll have all I want, but for now, hey, I don’t mind dreamin’.
‘Cause I got what I need. Got this house with some trees in the yard.
I got kids and a wife and a life I believe in.
I’m doin’ better that I deserve.
I guess I could complain, oh but things could be worse.
There’s a lot of folks out there with a lot of good reasons to curse.
All things considered I’m doin’ better than I deserve.
I’m doin’ better than I deserve.
The wolf ain’t at my door, and I ain’t out of work.
No matter how bad it gets, someone somewhere’s got it worse.
All things considered, I’m doin’ better than I deserve.
It’s cold out this mornin’. It’s raining, it’s pourin’.
My back’s acting up, but guess what, I’m alive and I’m breathin’.
Oh yeah, thank ya.
Well, maybe someday all the debt’ll be paid off.
Whistle Dixie lyrics - Darryl Worley
I have walked greener pastures.
And I’ve made a lot of hay.
I’ve gone fast and even faster.
I’ve been lost and found my way.
Got a whole lot out of livin’, my simple southern life.
Tried to do my share of givin’, and I know my soul’s all right.
So, everybody whistle Dixie, when they lay me in the ground.
When that cold wind comes to get me, I don’t want nobody
standin’ ‘round sheddin’ tears and feelin’ sorry.
‘Cause I’m gone to see my God. Everybody whistle Dixie.
Let ‘em lay me ‘neath the sod.
There’s a peace of mind in knowin’ that some things are meant to be.
Like the way my age is showin’ and that you were made for me.
Like the sweet Savannah sunshine, and the Louisiana rain.
Things that make this life worth living and keep a man from going insane.
So, everybody whistle Dixie, when they lay me in the ground.
When that cold wind comes to get me,
I don’t want nobody standin’ ‘round sheddin’ tears and feelin’ sorry.
‘Cause I’m gonna go to see my God. Hey everybody whistle Dixie.
Let ‘em lay me ‘neath the sod.
Lord, I love the land of cotton.
Yeah, but someday I’ll say goodbye. ‘Cause there’s a better home awaitin’.
(There’s a better home awaitin’) Yeah, there’s a mansion in the sky.
Everybody whistle Dixie. (Everybody, everybody)
Oh when they lay me in the ground. (When they lay me in the ground)
When that cold wind comes to get me.
Don’t want nobody standin’ ‘round sheddin’ tears and feelin’ sorry.
(Don’t want nobody feelin’ sorry)
‘Cause I’m gone to see my God. (I’m goin’, I’m goin’)
Everybody whistle Dixie. (Everybody whistle Dixie) Let ‘em lay me ‘neath the sod.
Yeah, everybody whistle Dixie. (Everybody whistle Dixie) Just let ‘em lay me ‘neath the sod.
(Everybody whistle Dixie, everybody)
And I’ve made a lot of hay.
I’ve gone fast and even faster.
I’ve been lost and found my way.
Got a whole lot out of livin’, my simple southern life.
Tried to do my share of givin’, and I know my soul’s all right.
So, everybody whistle Dixie, when they lay me in the ground.
When that cold wind comes to get me, I don’t want nobody

Have You Forgotten? lyrics - Darryl Worley
I hear people saying we don't need this war
But, I say there's some things worth fighting for
What about our freedom and this piece of ground
We didn't get to keep 'em by backing down
They say we don't realize the mess we're getting in
Before you start your preaching let me ask you this my friend
Have you forgotten how it felt that day?
To see your homeland under fire
And her people blown away
Have you forgotten when those towers fell?
We had neighbors still inside going thru a living hell
And you say we shouldn't worry 'bout bin Laden
Have you forgotten?
They took all the footage off my T.V.
Said it's too disturbing for you and me
It'll just breed anger that's what the experts say
If it was up to me I'd show it everyday
Some say this country's just out looking for a fight
Well, after 9/11 man I'd have to say that's right
Have you forgotten how it felt that day?
To see your homeland under fire
And her people blown away
Have you forgotten when those towers fell?
We had neighbors still inside going thru a living hell
And we vowed to get the one’s behind bin Laden
Have you forgotten?
I've been there with the soldiers
Who've gone away to war
And you can bet that they remember
Just what they're fighting for
Have you forgotten all the people killed?
Yeah, some went down like heroes in that Pennsylvania field
Have you forgotten about our Pentagon?
All the loved ones that we lost and those left to carry on
Don't you tell me not to worry about bin Laden
Have you forgotten?
Have you forgotten?
Have you forgotten?
But, I say there's some things worth fighting for
What about our freedom and this piece of ground
We didn't get to keep 'em by backing down
They say we don't realize the mess we're getting in
Before you start your preaching let me ask you this my friend
Have you forgotten how it felt that day?
To see your homeland under fire
And her people blown away
Have you forgotten when those towers fell?
We had neighbors still inside going thru a living hell
And you say we shouldn't worry 'bout bin Laden
Have you forgotten?
They took all the footage off my T.V.
Said it's too disturbing for you and me
It'll just breed anger that's what the experts say
If it was up to me I'd show it everyday
Some say this country's just out looking for a fight
Well, after 9/11 man I'd have to say that's right

All the loved ones that we lost and those left to carry on
Don't you tell me not to worry about bin Laden

I Will Hold My Ground lyrics - Darryl Worley
I have never had an easy life
But I'm not complaining
It has taught me how to stand and fight
For what I believe in
I guess that's just how I was raised
I find it hard to walk away
I will not back down
When you push me to the wall
Expecting me to fall
I will not give in
I am not afraid to fight
For what I know is right
I can only take so much
And when I've had enough
It's not in my blood to just lay down
I will hold my ground
I try my best to get through every day
Without confrontation
Stayin' out of everybody's way
But then on occasion
Somebody steps across the line
And it's not too long before they find
I will not back down
When you push me to the wall
Expecting me to fall
I will not give in
I am not afraid to fight
For what I know is right
I can only take so much
And when I've had enough
It's not in my blood to just lay down
I will hold my ground
I will not back down
When you push me to the wall
Expecting me to fall
I will not give in
I am not afraid to fight
For what I know is right
I can only take so much
And when I've had enough
It's not in my blood to just lay down
I will hold my ground
No it's not in my blood to just lay down
I will hold my ground
Yeah I will hold my ground
I will hold my ground
I will hold my ground
I will hold my ground
But I'm not complaining
It has taught me how to stand and fight
For what I believe in
I guess that's just how I was raised
I find it hard to walk away
I will not back down
When you push me to the wall
Expecting me to fall
I will not give in
I am not afraid to fight
For what I know is right
I can only take so much
And when I've had enough
It's not in my blood to just lay down
I will hold my ground
I try my best to get through every day
Without confrontation
Stayin' out of everybody's way
But then on occasion
Somebody steps across the line
And it's not too long before they find
I will not back down
When you push me to the wall
Expecting me to fall
I will not give in
I am not afraid to fight
For what I know is right
I can only take so much
And when I've had enough
It's not in my blood to just lay down
I will hold my ground
I will not back down
When you push me to the wall
Expecting me to fall
I will not give in
I am not afraid to fight
For what I know is right
I can only take so much
And when I've had enough
It's not in my blood to just lay down
I will hold my ground
No it's not in my blood to just lay down
I will hold my ground
Yeah I will hold my ground
I will hold my ground
I will hold my ground
I will hold my ground
I Need A Breather lyrics - Darryl Worley
I got a place that I like to slip off to
When everything starts closin' in
And I got some ways that the world don't agree with
Yeah some folks would call it a sin
But I work like a dog and I'm good at my job
And I live for a one-day weekend
So I'm takin' off and I might stay a week
Hell I may never come back again
I need a breather, a sweet senorita
Writin' my name in the sand
I need a break from this job and this angry boss man
Some coconut lotion, a chair by the ocean
Just sit back and take it all in
I got the fever and I need a breather again
The people at work they think I'm a loner
But I need some time to myself
And I don't want to waste my precious vacation
Livin' for somebody else
'Cause I'll have a drink and I might fall down
And I don't think that they'd understand
I know it all sounds a little bit crazy
Well maybe that's just what I am
I need a breather, a sweet senorita
Writin' my name in the sand
I need a break from this job and this angry boss man
Some coconut lotion, a chair by the ocean
Just sit back and take it all in
I got the fever and I need a breather again
Things fell apart down at the office
And I'm getting blamed for it all
I've only been back for a couple of days
And I'm already climbin' the wall
Hey I need a breather, a stiff margarita
Bring'em as fast as you can
'Cause I need a break from this job and this angry boss man
Some coconut lotion, a chair by the ocean
Just kick back and take it all in
Yeah I got the fever, I need a breather again
I got the fever and I need a breather again
Yes I do
When everything starts closin' in
And I got some ways that the world don't agree with
Yeah some folks would call it a sin
But I work like a dog and I'm good at my job
And I live for a one-day weekend
So I'm takin' off and I might stay a week
Hell I may never come back again
I need a breather, a sweet senorita
Writin' my name in the sand
I need a break from this job and this angry boss man
Some coconut lotion, a chair by the ocean
Just sit back and take it all in
I got the fever and I need a breather again
The people at work they think I'm a loner
But I need some time to myself
And I don't want to waste my precious vacation
Livin' for somebody else
'Cause I'll have a drink and I might fall down
And I don't think that they'd understand
I know it all sounds a little bit crazy
Well maybe that's just what I am
I need a breather, a sweet senorita
Writin' my name in the sand
I need a break from this job and this angry boss man
Some coconut lotion, a chair by the ocean
Just sit back and take it all in
I got the fever and I need a breather again
Things fell apart down at the office
And I'm getting blamed for it all
I've only been back for a couple of days
And I'm already climbin' the wall
Hey I need a breather, a stiff margarita
Bring'em as fast as you can
'Cause I need a break from this job and this angry boss man
Some coconut lotion, a chair by the ocean
Just kick back and take it all in
Yeah I got the fever, I need a breather again
I got the fever and I need a breather again
Yes I do
Shiloh lyrics - Darryl Worley
A mist halos the meadow and a soft wind
Breathes a whisper through the trees
As I lean against a hickory I close my eyes and I can almost see
The ghostly forms of blue and gray
And I can almost hear the cannons blast
Standin' in the presence of the past
The first few waves came cheerin'
Fear and hatred runnin' through their blood
When the day was finally over
Those left were wadin' through a crimson flood
To think I could be right here
In the spot where some young soldier breathed his last
Standin' in the presence of the past
Brother fightin' brother
Father fightin' son
By the time the sun was settin'
Looked like the South had won
Now my mouth's as dry as cotton
And my heart is beatin' fast
Standin' in the presence of the past
Sunrise caught the rebels sleepin' and they woke
To hear a Yankee bugle blow
Bullets flew like angry hornets
Till the peach tree blossoms drifted down like snow
It must have been like hell on earth
What happened here is more than we can grasp
Standin' in the presence of the past
Brother fightin' brother
Father fightin' son
By the time the smoke had lifted
They knew the North had won
Lord my soul feels empty
As my tears fall on this grass
Standin' in the presence of the past
Brother killin' brother
Father slayin' son
From the looks of this old graveyard
Hell nobody really won
Somethin's changed inside me
It sure can happen fast
Standin' in the presence of the past
A mist halos the meadow and a soft wind
Breathes a whisper through the trees
Breathes a whisper through the trees
As I lean against a hickory I close my eyes and I can almost see
The ghostly forms of blue and gray
And I can almost hear the cannons blast
Standin' in the presence of the past
The first few waves came cheerin'
Fear and hatred runnin' through their blood
When the day was finally over
Those left were wadin' through a crimson flood
To think I could be right here
In the spot where some young soldier breathed his last
Standin' in the presence of the past
Brother fightin' brother
Father fightin' son
By the time the sun was settin'
Looked like the South had won
Now my mouth's as dry as cotton
And my heart is beatin' fast
Standin' in the presence of the past
Sunrise caught the rebels sleepin' and they woke
To hear a Yankee bugle blow
Bullets flew like angry hornets
Till the peach tree blossoms drifted down like snow
It must have been like hell on earth
What happened here is more than we can grasp
Standin' in the presence of the past
Brother fightin' brother
Father fightin' son
By the time the smoke had lifted
They knew the North had won
Lord my soul feels empty
As my tears fall on this grass
Standin' in the presence of the past
Brother killin' brother
Father slayin' son
From the looks of this old graveyard
Hell nobody really won
Somethin's changed inside me
It sure can happen fast
Standin' in the presence of the past
A mist halos the meadow and a soft wind
Breathes a whisper through the trees
