I Still Sing the Old Songs

Lyrics

Grandpa I've been thinking bout you lately Wondering if you'd found your peace of mind I bet you'd be proud to know your grandsons never crossed that Mason Dixon line And I still sing the old songs that you taught me And I still pray to Jesus now and then And just like you I wish that he would save me To see the day the south will rise again Daddy wore his Purple Heart so proudly long before he turned into a man Buried with our flag across his casket I was still too young to understand And I still sing the old songs... Mama spent her last years in the garden while brother took his turn behind a gun Lord I'd give my life to find the freedom lost within the old songs that you sung And I still sing the old songs...
