Badlands Mud

Verse
My folks shipped out of old england
When this new world was young
So i believe i have the right to make my choice
Aint no yankee politician gonna make me lick his boot
So i signed up to ride with good old boys

Verse
We rode along with quantrell and cheered for general lee
And we took them federal red legs to there graves
We thought we'd won this bloody war then and there that day
Our young uns and our sweethearts we had saved
 [bad word] They tell me war is over
Surrender now i should
Lay these thirteen stars right down
But i dont believe i could
Every soul i ever loved lies beneath this badland mud
And if i see ya im gonna kill ya if i can

Verse
Full of spit and thunder and yellin how we'd won
And how war was easy as it can be
But what we found we got home took away the sun
Every thing was gone cept in pain and misery
 [bad word] They tell me war is over
Surrender now i should
Lay these thirteen stars right down
But i dont believe i could
Every soul i ever loved lies beneath this badland mud
And if i see ya im gonna kill ya if i can

Verse
Time has passed in hate and dus
And ive been to [bad word] and back
My uniform as changed to rags and doom
Hey boy dont tell me satans red
Ive chased him every day
And i swear to god hes always dressed in blue
 [bad word] They tell me war is over
Surrender now i should
Lay these thirteen stars right down
But i dont believe i could
Every soul i ever loved lies beneath this badland mud
And if i see ya im gonna kill ya if i can
