Bull Run
I wanted to get inbefore I missed the funthe ladies looking at melike I was the only oneoh the time I'd havewith my stories of warand how I licked the rebelsand went back for moreGallant charges on horsebackand using the bayonetstopping to have my picture madewith nary a regretthe bloodied will all rise againfor a mural on a walland I'll bow and tip my capand catch every minnie ballOf course this was before artilleryopened up on poor old meand tore my body clean in twothe way it's built to dowhat fools we wereto pray for warnow I'm just a frameinside your drawerLetras de cancionesWhen I look across Bull Run creekI see much the same todayyoung boys ambushed with the flagwhen they look the other wayI'm the ghost of old wars pasta grizzled vet by nowdying cures what ails youno matter when or howSo when you hear the distant drumsand rich men beat their chestsand then cower in their bunkersafter sending all the restseek not the marble menwho have come beforeand caused so many mothersto drip tears on the floorOf course this was before artilleryopened up on poor old meand tore my body clean in twothe way it's built to dowhat fools we wereto pray for warnow I'm just a frameinside your drawerWhen I look across Bull Run creekI see much the same todayyoung boys ambushed with the flagwhen they look the other wayI'm the ghost of old wars pasta grizzled vet by nowdying cures what ails youno matter when or how
