Grandpa I've been thinking bout you lately
Wondering if you'd found your peace of mind
I bet you'd be proud to know your grandsons
Never crossed that Mason Dixon line
And I still sing the old songs that you taught me
And I still pray to Jesus now and then
And just like you I wish that He would save me
To see the day the south will rise again
Daddy wore his Purple Heart so proudly
Long before he turned into a man
Buried with our flag across his casket
I was still too young to understand
And I still sing the old songs that you taught me
And I still pray to Jesus now and then
And just like you I wish that He would save me
To see the day the south will rise again
Mama spent her last years in the garden
While brother took his turn behind the gun
Lord I'd give my life to find the freedom
Lost within the old songs that you sung
And I still sing the old songs that you taught me
And I still pray to Jesus now and then
And just like you I wish that He would save me
To see the day the south will rise again
