The Day The Sun Stood Still
recorded by Travis Tritt We were young and bound for glory Itchin' for a fight like you Bringin' hell and purgatory To the boys who wore the blue And I thought I'd seen it all Till the day night wouldn't fall Oh, how the sun did blaze Wouldn't go down for days I got shot and lost my rifle When the first wave hit the rise And the guns rolled out like thunder And the black smoke burned my eyes And I watched it all unfold Just the way the Bible told Joshua's endless day Keepin' the night at bay And the soldiers kept a comin' Til the ground looked like a sea Of blue and grey And I watched it from a distance Wonderin' if I would've fought or run away The day the sun stood still How they beat the bloody drums And the seconds moved like hours But the sunset never comes And the cannons shake the ground And the bullets test your will Even shadows found no cover On that Godforsaken hill The day the sun stood still And I watched them lean their shoulders To the fearful hail of lead And I prayed for night to save us And I cried and bowed my head Bt the sun just kept a-creepin' 'Cross a cold indifferent sky Castin' a deadly glow On all the men below All the hours in a lifetime Don't add up to one while minute in that sun And the heroes and the cowards Look the same when they have fallen by the gun The day the sun stood still And the north and south looked west But the evening star was sleeping And the daylight wouldn't rest Out on the killing floor The red sun on the the hill Shinin' down on all the dead men With a strange and eerie chill The day the sun stood still Do not judge what you brother does Till you've walked a mile Rank by bloody file Who's to say if you'll run or stay and fight? The day the sun stood still Is just beneath the skin In the soul of every soldier Every battle that he's in The day the sun stood still Will haunt your dreams at night And stalk your every sunrise Though you will not know it till The day the sun stood still How they beat the bloody drums And the seconds moved like hours But the sunset never comes And the cannons shake the ground And the bullets test your will Even shadows found no cover On that Godforsaken hill The day the sun stood still

Tattoos & Scars
MONTGOMERY GENTRY LYRICS
Tattoos & Scars (Tony Lane) A young kid stepped in from the cold And he ordered up a drink He said don't look surprised old man I'm older than you think If I was the talkin' kind I could tell you a thing or two And since you didn't ask, l let me show you my tattoos He said I got this rose in Memphis in some back old alley dump Picked this eagle up in Dallas, man I sure was good and drunk And you know the way I see it, If it gets any worse out there A guy like me hasn't got a prayer The old man poured some coffee He said this one's on me Sat down his cigarette and rolled up his sleeve Said take a good look here my friend You see what these are Just my ragged old and jagged ordinary scars He said I got this one in Paris in a war 'fore you were born And this one when I was half your age workin' on my daddy's farm And you know the way I see it, son you ain't seen what I've seen Cause tattoos and scars are different things He said I've been here for all these years And what I know is this If you look and listen close A man will show you what he is You know the way I see it, you've been 'round but you're still green Cause tattoos and scars are different things A young kid stepped in from the cold And he ordered up a drink He said don't look surprised old man I'm older than you think www.montgomerygentry.com/ Gimpy if they don't know Travis they don't know nuthin'. BTW I think you and I have been travelin in the same circles 'cordin' to Jimmy's quote. 'ceptin for the good times and riches. Haven't seen a whole lot of them. But them sumsofbitches? Yup! www.travis-tritt.com/

tattoos and scars
Ok sis, but remember not all tattoos are visible and not all scars can be seen.
Pretty profound prose. pho127 |

Seem to have more than my share of both Tattoos and Scars. Got my last tattoo just to stay ahead of my daughter in the #'s of tatoos - really can't have a daughter with more tatoos than her Dad. Me , Sid, his brother (Marine Recon, RVN) and 5 other vets all went to a fellow vets tattoo shop. He told us to bring our coolers and plan to party. He closed down the shop and we all got tattoos - my wife Sharon has still not seen the heart with Donna in the middle of it on my ass.

What about the words to Marching Through Georgia, I always liked that one. Actually there a song called The Battle of Shiloh Hill, not pro North or South. It just talks of the brave men on both sides and those who gave it all. After a fight like that both sides had to respect (not like but), respect the other side.
Stay healthy, Gen. William T. Andy |
