The Shot Heard 'Round the World

Standing that morning at that Lexington field Not knowing what drama the day would yet yield When off to my right rang the shot of a gun I knew that this dreaded war had just begun No one knowing who had shot first This day would go down in history as being one of the worst Stumbling my way threw the gray smoky haze Everyone looking like their in a daze Brothers and friends lying dead on the ground And i know that bloodier days are still yet bound From demanding England, America has just tore For that first shot has just begun the Revolutionary War
