[00:05.480]We won the war in the valley,
[00:10.140]We packed up all of our things.
[00:15.100]We said goodbye to the alley.
[00:19.530]Oh, we could not wait for spring,
[00:24.480]Oh, we could not wait for spring.
[00:27.990]
[00:29.760]Took what we stole in Virginia,
[00:34.630]Buried it all in a box.
[00:39.610]We dug a hole outside Memphis,
[00:45.720] covered it up with rocks.
[00:49.480]I took the last of the water,
[00:54.330]You emptied our canteens,
[00:59.530]We dipped back down in the holler.
[01:03.120]
[01:04.190]Oh we could not wait for spring.
[01:09.030]Oh we could not wait for spring.
[01:11.790]
[01:16.880]We drove that Ford through the desert,
[01:21.240]Past the ghost town and old railroad tracks,
[01:26.690]We got torn up in the weather,
[01:31.780]We barely did make it back.
[01:35.630]
[01:36.960]Took my guitar to the pawn shop,
[01:41.710] you took your grandmother's rings,
[01:46.690]We bought wool coats for the winter,
[01:51.350]Oh, we could not wait for spring.
[01:55.720]Oh, we could not wait for spring.
[01:59.270]
[02:04.390]Thought I played well in Chicago,
[02:08.370]It was the last time I saw him alive.
[02:14.310]Heard he got shot down in Austin,
[02:18.630]On a rowdy summer night.
[02:22.520]
[02:24.150]We head out of New York City
[02:28.310]And the snow nearly drove us insane.
[02:33.990]Winter's in Upstate are so bitter,
[02:38.660]But we could not wait for spring,
[02:43.590]Oh we could not wait for spring.
[02:48.350]
[02:51.390]I can't get back what was stolen,
[02:55.610]but we won't hang our heads down in shame,
[03:01.010]We don't take orders from no one,
[03:06.030]So we never know whose to blame.
[03:09.790]
[03:11.070]I put my boots on the fire,
[03:15.590]Wore out from the soul to the heel
[03:21.110]All of my best friends are liars.
[03:25.940]I know just how they feel.
[03:30.420]Yeah, and I know just how they feel.
[03:34.430]
[04:05.800]Last time we all got together,
[04:10.920]Nobody did say goodbye,
[04:15.970]We'll see you back at the river,
[04:21.960]Again, on the Fourth of July
[04:26.470]Again on the Forth of July.
