The Southland's Bleeding Lyrics

Lyrics sung by The Drifter (Waylon Jennings)

the Southland's bleeding
the Union's pierced the heart of Dixie

still our Generals are leading

with the courage to set us free

maybe it's time to count up all of the cost

we're just hoping there'll be some changes

wishful thinking, we're headed downhill

they only way now is surrender

but we're fighting still

you know there ain't no real chance

for us to win this

there won't be no victory dance

at the finish

it's just - Southern pride

it's just - stubborn blindness
(GUITAR SOLO)

no young man's adventure

holding on to a fading lifestyle

maybe at first

now it's terror running wild

there's no one willing to lend a helping hand

they say we're foolish and we can't blame them

let's stop this fighting while we can

it takes a brave man, but to end this killing

it takes a braver man
you know there ain't no real chance

for us to win this

there won't be no victory dance

at the finish

it's just - Southern pride

it's just - stubborn blindness

it's just - Southern pride

it's just - stubborn blindness

it's just - Southern pride

it's just - stubborn blindness

it's just - Southern pride

it's just - stubborn blindness

it's just - Southern pride
