Lyrics
ALL THEY ASK OF ME Driving through a town The civil war was over. I don’t know why my eyes keep Moving to the door. Two kids standing there are Clearly not from ‘round here. Standing Blue and grey from 1864. And All They Asked of me Was to live on the land Built on their blood And not shed it again. Cause it’s not the same Now that the uniforms are bleached white as a dove. I’m sneaking through a Southern town with no memory. I see the name of a slave who was never sold I’m sneaking through a Northern City with no memory. The mansions on this side are not temporary. Then it gets pretty rough straight to the coast All they ask of me © Al Kryszak 2011
