The Kid |
| Your mother died night you were born |
| Her name you never knew |
| Look away, Look away |
| Nothing to lose |
| Left East Tennessee at fourteen |
| Wandered to the West |
| Look away, Look away |
| Born into death |
| You fought the sailors in New Orleans |
| You worked the flatboats and walked the streets |
| Hit Nacogdoches in '49 |
| And there we met for the very first time |
| Kid don’t you know me? |
| We are the last of the true |
| Drink up! |
| Drink up! |
| Drink up! |
| Drink up! |
| Cause tonight your soul’s required of you |
| Signed on with a stone mad captain |
| Rode on Mexico |
| Look away, Look away |
| War behold |
| Jailed with killers one and all |
| But we were killers free |
| Look away, Look away |
| Look to me |
| You saw the lancers 'mid heathen hordes |
| Bloodstained veils and costumes of war |
| Hell ain’t half full boy hear me |
| War is the game and the god we seek |
| We set out as men of reason |
| Armed with Navy Colts |
| Look away, Look away |
| Work paid in gold |
| But you stood witness to yourself |
| Our trial you did betray |
| Look away, Look away |
| To judgment day |
| We killed in the desert we killed in the streets |
| We chose what shall and shall not be |
| We stood with pistols, fought back to back |
| Now you’ve stood your ground but what ground is that? |
