Another Side

Another Side by Sawyer Brown from Six Days On The Road transcribed by Alden Smith I saw them do this song in concert and just loved it. I hope you do to. Intro We came up 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 wait 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 mama 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 Im standing here a fightin wishin there was another side Fill in We burned each others crops and fields And took the very best We fought our way back and forth and they put us to the test I 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 How much more can we take and still stand our ground Chorus I guess my daddy would be proud but my mama 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 fightin wishin there was another side Fill in 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 over 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 mama 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 cryin wishin there was another side I'm wishin there was another side Wishin there was another side Outro:
