Another Side

We came out from sheffield and they put us on the lineYou could smell the powder burning and man it hurt my eyesThey knew them boys were tired and weakWe were fresh and we were strongWe could not what to blast away and make our presence knownEvery time I took my aim and got one in my sightIn my heart I knew the way and this way was not rightChorusI guess my daddy would be proud but my mamma she's ashamedAnd I know deep down we need a changeThem Northern boys are friends of mineBut I've got my Southern prideI'm standing here a fighting wishing there was another sideWe burned each others crops and fieldsAnd took the very bestWe fought are we back and forth and they puts us to the testI know that some things are wrongBut what gave them the rightTo point their righteous fingers and expect us not to fightWe all cried on the night they burned Atlanta downHow much more can we take and still stand our groundChorusI guess my daddy would be proud but my mamma she's ashamedAnd I know deep down we need a changeThem colored boys are friends of mineBut I've got my Southern prideI'm standing here a fighting wishing there was another sideIn four years the smoke had clearedAnd I went back to the farmLittle brother met me at the bridge and he held out his armsHe was thin and weak and wounded and dressed in Yankee blueWell I cried and I held him and together we both knewIf it could be done other there would be a better wayStill one family and one nation oh but what a price we payChorusI guess my daddy would be proud but my mamma she's ashamedAnd I know deep down we need a changeNow some of them boys were friends of mineBut dang this Southern prideI'm standing here a crying wishing there was another sideI'm wishing there was another sideWishing there was other side
