My Fathers Gun

(专辑： Kicks - 2019)

From this day on
I own my father's gun
We dug a shallow grave
Beneath the sun
We laid his broken body down
Below the southern land
It'd never do to bury him
Where any Yankee stands

I take my horse
I ride the Northern plain
And wear the color of the free
And join the fight again
I will 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

I'd like to know where
The riverboats sail tonight, yeah, yeah
To New Orleans, hey
That's just fine, alright
I hear they're fighting there
And the company needs men
And oh up there? slip us a rope
And sail around the bend (yeah, yeah, yeah)

As soon as this is over
We'll all go home
And plant the seeds of justice
In our bones
And let the children growing and playing
And all the women stayed in hope
Laughing when the bells of freedom ring
And they're gonna ring

I'd like to know where
The riverboats sail tonight, yeah, yeah
To New Orleans, hey
That's just fine, alright
I hear they're fighting there
And the company needs men
And oh ooh, slip us a rope
And sail around the bend

I'd like to know where
The riverboats sails tonight, yeah, huh
To New Orleans
That's just fine, alright
You know we're fighting there
And the company needs everybody
And oh I say I say slip us a rope
Sail around the bend

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Sail around the bend
To somewhere new
I won't stop until I know
We're gonna win
We're gonna win
Ooh...
