Zach and Rodney, Canton Jones - Selma Swamp lyrics

Rolled into selma off Pettus Bridge Road
Not far from the lost highway
Hank sang about years ago
Struck up a conversation with a wide
Haired colored man in overalls
Reached my hand out my pocket
I was watchin' real close
I can't say that I blame him this
Day in time you never know
Yeah, this town's got a history of
Certain folks not gettin' along

Started swappin' stories about growin'
Up 'round the swamp
And the beauty of a Bama moonlight
Cuttin' through trees covered in moss
Then we caught ourselves not thinkin' about
The color of our skin
Right there in black and white we
Put hate in it's place again
Hate in it's placе again

We both got scars that just won't heal
We try to movе on
Somethin' happens and steals
Hope for change, strength to the love
And forget
At night in Selma simple men talked
Left some things buried deep in the swamp
Both found out we're not enemies
For a moment in time
Lived another man's dream

We can't undo what's already been done
Only one thing can break the chains
That's love
Only one thing can bring the change
And that's love

We both got scars that just won't heal
We try to move on
Somethin' happens and steals
Hope for change, strength to the love
And forget
That night in Selma simple men talked
Left some things buried deep in the swamp
Both found out we're not enemies
For a moment in time
Lived another man's dream
For a moment in time
Lived another man's dream
