Letra de Another Side
We came up from Sheffield And they put us on the line You could smell the powder burnin' And, man, it hurt my eyesThey knew them boys were tired and weak We were fresh, and we were strong We could not wait to blast away And make our presence knownBut every time I took my aim And got one in my sight In my heart I knew the way And this way was not rightI guess my daddy would be proud But my momma, 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 standin' here a-fightin' Wishin' there Was another sideWe burned each other's crops and fields And took the very best We fought our way back and forth Then they put us to the testI know that some things were 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 And how much more can we take, and still stand our ground?Oh, I guess my daddy would be proud But my momma, 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 standin' here a-fightin' Wishin' there Was another sideIn 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 armsHe was thin and weak and wounded And dressed in Yankee blue Well, I cried and I held him And together we both knewIf it could be done over There would be a better way Still one family, and one nation Oh, but what a price we paidOh, I guess my daddy would be proud But my momma, 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 standin' here a-cryin' Wishin' there Was another sideI'm wishin' there was another side Wishin' there was another side
