Lyrics

[00:14.84] I don’t know you to wear a hat
[00:21.91] But I came home late, and there it sat
[00:29.50] You rose to show what hats are for
[00:35.42] When living through a civil war
[00:42.89] When living through a civil war
[00:49.20]
[00:54.89] Christmas mornings and New Years Days
[01:01.59] They flood with dreams and they drift away
[01:07.92] They cling to logs and cupboard doors
[01:14.81] While riding out this civil war
[01:21.41] While riding out this civil war
[01:28.29]
[01:32.95] Two fighters came and we pitched a tent
[01:39.30] And everyone around here, we went
[01:46.36] The fix was in, we bet and we swore
[01:52.75] From both sides of a civil war
[02:00.32]
[02:04.62] We build this up and we knock this down
[02:11.58] We call our little mob a town
[02:17.97] We nail a sign above the door
[02:24.36] God bless our little civil war
[02:31.43] God bless our little civil war
[02:37.84]
[02:43.35] Three dogs at a party on a boat at night
[02:50.21] Play checkers in a lantern light
[02:56.97] They sing a song out to the shore
[03:02.54] Of women, gold, and civil war
[03:10.88]
[03:15.22] Every truth carries blame
[03:22.15] Every light reveals some shame
[03:29.16] Progress rides with thieves and whores
[03:36.18] The stowaways of civil war
[03:43.42] The stowaways of civil war
[03:50.77] Progress rides with thieves and whores
[03:56.44] The stowaways of civil war
[04:04.21] The stowaways of civil war
