Another Side

We came out from sheffield and they put us on the line

You could smell the powder burning and man it hurt my eyes

They knew them boys were tired and weak

We were fresh and we were strong

We could not what to blast away and make our presence known

Every time I took my aim and got one in my sight

In my heart I knew the way and this way was not right

Chorus

I guess my daddy would be proud but my mamma she's ashamed

And I know deep down we need a change

Them Northern boys are friends of mine

But I've got my Southern pride

I'm standing here a fighting wishing there was another side

We burned each others crops and fields

And took the very best

We fought are we back and forth and they puts us to the test

I know that some things are wrong

But what gave them the right

To point their righteous fingers and expect us not to fight

We all cried on the night they burned Atlanta down

How much more can we take and still stand our ground

Chorus

I guess my daddy would be proud but my mamma she's ashamed

And I know deep down we need a change

Them colored boys are friends of mine

But I've got my Southern pride

I'm standing here a fighting wishing there was another side

In four years the smoke had cleared

And I went back to the farm

Little brother met me at the bridge and he held out his arms

He was thin and weak and wounded and dressed in Yankee blue

Well I cried and I held him and together we both knew

If it could be done other there would be a better way

Still one family and one nation oh but what a price we pay

Chorus

I guess my daddy would be proud but my mamma she's ashamed

And I know deep down we need a change

Now some of them boys were friends of mine

But dang this Southern pride

I'm standing here a crying wishing there was another side

I'm wishing there was another side

Wishing there was other side
