Grandpa I've been thinking bout you lately
C D7
Wondering if you'd found your peace of mind
G C G
I bet you'd be proud to know your grandsons
C D7
Never crossed that Mason Dixon line
C D7 G
And I still sing the old songs that you taught me
C D7 G
And I still pray to Jesus now and then
C D7 G
And just like you I wish that He would save me
C D7
To see the day the south will rise again

Daddy wore his Purple Heart so proudly
C D7
Long before he turned into a man
G C G
Buried with our flag across his casket
C D7
I was still too young to understand
C D7 G
And I still sing the old songs that you taught me
C D7 G
And I still pray to Jesus now and then
C D7 G
And just like you I wish that He would save me
C D7
To see the day the south will rise again
G C G
Mama spent her last years in the garden
C D7
While brother took his turn behind the gun
G C G
Lord I'd give my life to find the freedom
C D7
Lost within the old songs that you sung
C D7 G
And I still sing the old songs that you taught me
C D7 G
And I still pray to Jesus now and then
C D7 G
And just like you I wish that He would save me
C D7
To see the day the south will rise again
