Through the day I watched those Southern boys go ^Gdown. And they l^Day like Georgia peaches Bruised and broken on the gr^Aound. Through the n^Dight I wondered was it worth the p^Gain, And I c^Aried not revenge, I called your n^Dame.

I will r^Aun all the way just to meet you t^Dhere. [Fade out] A D
