From this day on I own my father's gun
We dug his shallow grave beneath the sun I laid his broken body down beneath the Southern land It wouldn't do to bury him where any Yankee stands I'll take my horse and I'll ride the northern plain To wear the color of the greys and join the fight again I'll not rest until I know the cause is fought and won From this day on until I die I'll wear my father's gun [Chorus] I'd like to know where the riverboat sails tonight To New Orleans well that's just fine alright Cause there's fighting there and the company needs men So slip us a rope and sail on round the bend As soon as this is over we'll go home To plant the seeds of justice in our bones To watch the children growing and see the women sewing There'll be laughter when the bells of freedom ring [Chorus] |

When they call your name
Will you walk right up With a smile on your face Will you cower in fear In your favorite sweater With an old love letter I wish you would I wish you would Come pick me up Take me out Fuck me up Steal my records Screw all my friends They're all full of shit With a smile on your face And then do it again I wish you would When you're walking downtown Do you wish I was there Do you wish it was me With the windows clear And the mannequin's eyes Do they all look like mine You know you could I wish you would Come pick me up Take me out Fuck me up Steal my records Screw all my friends Behind my back With a smile on your face And then do it again I wish you would I wish you'd make up my bed So I could make up my mind Try it for sleeping instead Maybe you'll rest sometimes I wish I could I wish I could I wish I could |

Long black limousine
Shiniest car I've ever seen The back seat is nice and clean She rides as quiet as a dream Someone dug a hole six long feet in the ground I said goodbye to you and I threw my roses down Ain't nothing left at all in the end of being proud With me riding in this car and you flying through them clouds I've had some time to think about it And watch the sun sink like a stone I've had some time to think about you On the long ride home One day I took your tiny hand Put your finger in the wedding band Your daddy gave a piece of land We made ourselves the best of plans Forty years go by with someone laying in your bed Forty years of things you say you wish you'd never said How hard would it have been to say some kinder words instead? I wonder as I stare up at the sky turning red I've had some time to think about it And watch the sun sink like a stone I've had some time to think about you On the long ride home Headlights searching down the driveway The house is dark as it can be I go inside and all is silent And seems as empty as the inside of me I've had some time to think about it And watch the sun sink like a stone I've had some time to think about you On the long On the long Oh the long On the long ride home |

Oh you and I we sure can dream
Of conversations that might have been I know that I treat you unkind And long ago I lost my mind And even after all these years I can't even see you clear I know that you must lie sometimes To hide the truth you're trying to find Oh I won't shut us down No I will stay around As long as I can As long as I can Even after all these years I can't even see you clear A child is born another dies And every life has its price Oh I won't shut us down No I will stay around As long as I can As long as I can As long as I can As long as I can As long as I can |

(Sill)
Sweet silver angels over the sea please come down flying low for me One time I trusted a stranger 'cause I heard his sweet song And it was gently enticing me though there was something wrong When I turned he was gone Blinding me his song remains reminding me he's a bandit and a heartbreaker Oh but Jesus was a crossmaker chorus He wages war with the devil a pistol by his side And though he chases him out my window and won't give him a place to hide He keeps his door open wide Fighting him he lights a lamp inviting him He's a bandit and a heartbreaker oh but Jesus was a crossmaker chorus I hear the thunder come rumbling the light never looked so dim I see the junction get nearer and danger's in the wind and either road's looking grim Hiding me I flee desire's dividing me He's a bandit and a heartbreaker Oh but Jesus was a crossmaker Yeah but Jesus was a crossmaker |

Had to find some higher ground
Had some fear to get around You can't say what you don't know Later on won't work no more Last time through I hid my tracks So well I could not get back Yeah my way was hard to find Can't sell your soul for piece of mind Square one, my slate is clear Rest your head on me, my dear It took a world of trouble, took a world of tears Took a long time... to get back here Try so hard to stand alone Struggle to see past my nose Always had more dogs than bones I could never wear those clothes It's a dark victory You won and you also lost Told us you were satisfied But it never came across Square one, my slate is clear Rest your head on me, my dear It took a world of trouble, took a world of tears Took a long time... to get back here Square one, my slate is clear Rest your head on me, my dear It took a world of trouble, took a world of tears Took a long time... to get back here Square one, my slate is clear Rest your head on me, my dear It took a world of trouble, took a world of tears And took a long time... to get back here |
