INTRO

INTRO
             N.C.
Oh, well, we run to the break of day,
            N.C.
the old man groaned as we rolled away.
          N.C.
Our women wept as we sped on by,
            N.C.
we hung our heads low as they raised their flags high.
 
VERSE 1
                    Am                Am
Then we grabbed our guns and we shot away,
               Am                 Am
let's kill our brothers on a Saturday.
             Am                      Am
Blood spills out and our wounds were deep,
Am*
Old Jesse James, well, he won't even take a peep.
 
CHORUS
                            Am
So, then we go on down that road,
Am*                                   Am
breakin' your backs and breakin' your souls,
Am*                                         Am
breakin' your backs and breakin' your souls,
Am*                                N.C.
mama said I'd die before I get old.
 
INTERLUDE
Am*         | Am*         | Am*         | Am*         ||
 
VERSE 2
    Am                  Am
The war is over and the graves were deep,
    Am                        Am
the sun was down just like my brother Rim's keep.
    Am                      Am
You burned my house and you raped my wife,
  Am*
I fall to my knees and I pray to the Lord
           N.C.
that I can kill that fucker tonight!
 
CHORUS
                            Am
So, then we go on down that road,
Am*                                   Am
breakin' your backs and breakin' your souls,
Am*                                         Am
breakin' your backs and breakin' your souls,
Am*                                N.C.
mama said I'd die before I get old.
 
INTERLUDE
Am*         | Am*         | Am*         | Am*         ||
 
VERSE 3
    Am                        Am
Oh, hey, there dad, don't you know who I am?
Am*
No motherfucker, don't give a God damn!
 
INTERLUDE
Am*         | Am*         | Am*         | Am*         ||
 
[End-Chorus]
            Am              Am
So, then we go on down that road,
Am*                                   Am
breakin' your backs and breakin' your souls.
Am*                                        Am
Breakin' your backs and breakin' your souls.
Am*
Mama said I'd die before I get old.
Am*
Mama said I'd die before I get old.
Am*
Mama said I'd die before I get old.
Am*
Mama said I'd die before I get old.
Am*
Mama said I'd die before I get old.
Am*
Mama said I'd die before I get old.
Am*
