Civil War ~ 'Pains of the Heart'
She sleeps on the south, I sleep on the north side of the bed
Each night we take turns, staring at the wall
The Mason Dixon line, runs through the center of our bed
I just wish she'd cross over, into these arms of mine
And bring back that rebel yell, that loving battle call
But each night I feel the cold north wind, in this Yankees eyes
Today it's just another day, of blue and gray
Today it's sister against brother, friend against lover
Still can't recall, what we're fighting for
Can't recall, what made our hearts fall so hard
Just another Civil War, tearing us apart
Just wish we could surrender, to these pains of the heart
I still wonder how it all went wrong, how we drifted so far apart
How these cotton sheets got tangled, on this bed of ours
It's hard holding back, the fire in this Yankees heart
Hard surrendering, to blue eyes turning red
Just wish I could remember, what we're fighting for
Cause we both know, we can't win this civil war
Today it's just another day, of blue and gray
Today it's sister against brother, friend against lover
Still can't recall, what we're fighting for
Can't recall, what made our hearts fall so hard
Just another Civil War, tearing us apart
Just wish we could surrender, to these pains of the heart
