I Ride At Dawn

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 bleed 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
