Grandpa I've been thinking about you latelyWondering if you'd found your peace of mindI guess you'd be proud to know your grandsonsNever crossed that Mason Dixon lineAnd I still sing the old songs that you taught meAnd I still pray to Jesus now and thenAnd just like you I wish that he would save meTo see the day the south will rise againDaddy wore his Purple Heart so proudly Long before I turned into a manBuried with our flag across his casket I was still too young to understandAnd I still sing the old songs that you taught meAnd I still pray to Jesus now and thenAnd just like you I wish that he would save meTo see the day the south will rise againMama spent her last years in the garden While I took my turn behind a gunLord I'd give my life to find the freedom lost within the old songs that you sungAnd I still sing the old songs that you taught meAnd I still pray to Jesus now and thenAnd just like you I wish that he would save meTo see the day the south will rise again Aus Songtexte Mania
