Sawyer Brown - Another Side Lyrics
We came up from SheffieldAnd they put us on the lineYou could smell the powder burnin'And man, it hurt my eyesThey knew them boys were tired and weak-We were fresh and we were strongWe could not wait to blast awayAnd make our presence knownBut every time I took my aimAnd got one in my sightIn my heart I knew the wayAnd this way was not rightOh, I guess my daddy would be proudBut my momma, she's ashamedAnd I know deep down we need a changeThem Northern boys are friends of mineBut I've got my Southern prideI'm standin' here a-fightin'Wishin' thereWas another sideWe burned each other's crops and fieldsAnd took the very bestWe fought our way back and forthThen they put us to the testI know that some things are wrongBut what gave them the rightTo point their righteous fingersAnd expect us not to fight?We all cried on the night they burned Atlanta downHow much more can we take and still stand our ground?Oh, I guess my daddy would be proudBut my momma, she's ashamedAnd I know deep down we need a changeThem colored boys are friends of mineBut I've got my Southern prideI'm standin' here a-fightin'Wishin' thereWas another sideIn four years the smoke had clearedAnd I went back to the farmLittle brother met me at the bridgeAnd he held out his armsHe was thin and weak and woundedAnd dressed in Yankee blueWell, I cried and I held himAnd together we both knewIf it could be done overThere would be a better wayStill one family, and one nationOh, but what a price we paidI guess my daddy would be proudBu
