Miranda Lambert - My Father's Gun lyrics

From this day on, I own my father's gun
We dug his shallow grave beneath the sun
I laid his broken body down
Below the southern land
What I'd do to bury him
Where any Yankee stands
I'll take my horse and I'll
Ride the Northern plain
Wear the color of the grey's
And join the fight again
I will not rest until I know
The cause is fought and won
From this day on until I die
I'll wear my father's gun

I'd like to know where
The riverboat sails tonight
To New Orleans, well that's just fine
Alright 'Cause there's fighting there and
The company needs men (Oh, woah)
Slip us a rope and sail around the bend



As soon as this is over, we'll go home
Plant the seeds of justice in our bones
We'll watch the children growing and
See the women sewing
There'll be laughter there when the
Bells of freedom ring

I'd like to know where
The riverboat sails tonight
To New Orleans, well that's just fine
Alright 'Cause there's fighting there and
The company needs men (Oh, woah)
Slip us a rope and sail around the bend
Oh, I'd like to know where the riverboat
Riverboat sails tonight
I'd like to know where the riverboat
Riverboat sails tonight
Mmm, I'd like to know where the riverboat
Riverboat sails tonight
'Cause there's fighting there and
The company needs men (Oh, woah)
Slip us a rope and sail around the bend
