Another Side Lyrics - Singles - Sawyer Brown

We came out from Sheffield and they put us on the line 

You could smell the powder burning; 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 

But 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 

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 

I'm standing here a fighting wishing there was another side 

We burned each other's 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? 

Well, 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'fighting wishing there was another side 

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 other there would be a better way 

Still one family and one nation oh but what a price we paid 

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'crying wishing there was another side 

I'm wishing there was another side, wishing there was other side
