William Moore |
| Walkin' down an Alabama road |
| Rememberin' what the Bible told |
| Walkin' with a letter in his hand |
| Dreaming of another southern land |
| Walkin' down an Alabama road |
| And he went by the name of William Moore |
| Now what are you doing William Moore |
| Why the letter in your hand? |
| There’s only one southern land |
| And he went by the name of William Moore |
| What price the glory of one man? |
| What price the glory of one man? |
| What price the hopes |
| What price the dreams |
| And what price the glory of one man? |
| Remembering what his grandfather done |
| Fought for the south in '61 |
| A hundred years have passed by since then |
| Now Moore is fighting for the south again |
| Remembering what his grandfather done |
| Remembering the time in World War Two |
| And the South Pacific Island that he knew |
| Remembering the young men that he killed |
| And the praying that the guns of hate be stilled |
| Remembering the time in World War Two |
| What price the glory of one man? |
| What price the glory of one man? |
| What price the hopes |
| What price the dreams |
| And what price the glory of one man? |
| And they shot him on the Alabama road |
| Forgot about what the Bible told |
| They shot him with that letter in his hand |
| As though he were a dog and not a man |
| And they shot him on the Alabama road |
| Did you say it was a shame when he died? |
| Did you say he was fool because he tried? |
| Did you wonder who had fired the gun? |
| Did you know that it was you who fired the gun? |
| Did you say it was a shame when he died? |
| What price the glory of one man? |
| What price the glory of one man? |
| What price the hopes |
| What price the dreams |
| And what price the glory of one man? |
