atlanta 1864 - thompson brothers band lyrics

Loading...

[verse 1]
i joined the army back in ‘59
the newest soldier in a long family line
i trained at west point and did what i thought was right
stayed with the union when the country divides

[verse 2]
young and naïve i couldn’t figure out
what was on their minds when sherman marched us down south
forced me to torch my own hometown
so sad to see atlanta burn down, oh!

[verse 3]
both sides pray to jesus for a victory
but i believe every man has got the right to be free
sometimes our good intentions get so outta hand
it only goes to prove the fallibilities of man

[verse 4]
well, i know it ain’t a soldier’s job to think
but all this destruction seems so useless to me
i can’t believe i torched my own hometown
so sad to see atlanta burn down

[bridge]
god forgive us
we’re just poor boys in some rich man’s war
god forgive us
well, i pray we don’t have to do this no more, yeah

[verse 5]
i hope to god that this goes down in history
so our sons and our daughters won’t go through
the same things as me

[outro]

na na na na na
na na na na na
na na na na na
