The Bonnie Flue Flag - Un-Reconstructed

We are a band of brothers, and native to the soil, Fighting for our Liberty, with treasure, blood and Toil; And when our rights were threaten'd, the cry rose near And far, Hurrah for the Bonnie Blue Flag, that bears a Single Star! Hurrah! Hurrah! For Southern Rights, hurrah! Hurrah! For the Bonnie Blue Flag, that bears a Single Star! As long as the Union was faithful to her trust, like Friends and like brethren kind were we and just; But now when Northern treachery attempts our rights to Mar, We hoist on high the Bonnie Blue Flag that bears a Single Star. First, gallant South Carolina nobly made the stand; Then came Alabama, who took her by the hand; Next, quickly Mississippi, Georgia and Florida, All Rais'd on high the Bonnie Blue Flag that bears a Single Star. Ye men of valor, gather round the Banner of the Right, Texas and fair Louisiana, join us in the fight; Davis, our loved President, and Stephens, Statesman Rare, Now rally round the Bonnie Blue Flag that bears a Single Star. Hurrah! Hurrah! for Southern Rights, hurrah! Hurrah! For the Bonnie Blue Flag that bears a Single Star. And heroes to brave Virginia! The Old Dominion State, With the young Confederacy at length has link'd her Fate; Impell'd by her example, now other States prepare, To Hoist on high the Bonnie Blue Flag that bears a Single Star. Then cheer, boys, raise the joyous shot, For Arkansas And North Carolina now have both gone out; And let another rousing cheer for Tennessee be given, The Single Star of the Bonnie Blue Flag has grown to be Eleven. Then here's to our Confederacy, strong we are and Brave, like patriots of old, we'll fight our heritage To save; And rather than submit to shame, to die we would Prefer, So cheer for the Bonnie Blue Flag that bears a Single Star. Hurrah! Hurrah! for Southern Rights, hurrah! Hurrah! For the Bonnie Blue Flag that bears a Single Star

Saw you in the fight Doesn't even know Green like aloe You don't wanna see What's beneath all these leaves Where would we be If I'm looking at me? I don't wanna see The untold, it's so close You don't wanna go that way You don't wanna go that way I saw you running down the street and You told me demons are after me I saw you in the fight You gave me all my time I want it to be alright You're runnin' on my mind Runnin' on (saw you in a fight) Runnin' out (saw you in a fight) All night, high We don't got to give in to the flue We don't got to give in to the flue We don't got to give in to the flue, oh We don't got to give in to the flue We don't got to give in to the flue We don't got to give in to the flue, oh You aching, you snitching, you itching, you sneezing It's not what it looks like, what you thought You feel like it's something, you blame it on others It's my fault, it's my fault, I'm not tough You aching, you sneezing, you snitching, you itching It's not what it looks like, what you thought You feel like it's something, you blame it on others It's my fault, it's my fault, I'm not tough Woke up today with a rude awakening He's so two-faced, looking at me sideways Hopped on the freeway, pulled in my place Baby, what you gotta say?

There's a warning in the comfort That you're too good to be true They tell me over and over There's someone better for you You're the warmth I feel beside me And the fear of growing cold The continual reminder Of the risk we take when we get involved I've been warned enough You were the only red flag The only red flag that I could never raise You were the only red flag The only red flag that I could never raise At the pace that we've been running When our lungs begin to sting I'm hearing over and over "Moderation in all things" So you'll hopefully forgive me If I cannot slow this down When my body bends to weakness Your voice will be the sound That conceals the pain You were the only red flag The only red flag that I could never raise You were the only red flag The only red flag that I could never raise Love is one-way street Headed away from me Love is a one-way street Headed away from me Away from me You were the only red flag The only red flag that I could never raise You were the only red flag The only red flag that I could never raise Love is one-way street Headed away from me Love is a one-way street Headed away from me

Down every road there's always one more city I'm on the run, the highway is my home I raised a lot of cane back in my younger days While mama used to pray my crops would fail I'm a hunted fugitive with just two ways: Outrun the law or spend my life in jail I'd like to settle down but they won't let me A fugitive must be a rolling stone Down every road there's always one more city I'm on the run' the highway is my home I'm lonely but I can't afford the luxury Of having one I love to come along She'd only slow me down and they'd catch up with me For he who travels fastest goes alone I'd like to settle down but they won't let me A fugitive must be a rolling stone Down every road there's always one more city I'm on the run' the highway is my home I'm on the run' the highway is my home
