The Old Red Hills of Home (from Parade) - Jeff Edgerton, Parade Ensemble & Don Chastain

You say hello, I smile slow, it turns me inside out. You say goodbye, I say that I'll be right behind you. And everybody shows that everybody knows; Everybody lives to feel alive; and to feel it like the First time. If you wanna go, if you wanna stay, If you wanna run around the world we can leave today; I just wanna go to a place of our own. If you wanna go, if you wanna stay, If you gotta run around the world and come back to me, I just wanna know this is where we belong. It's all beginning to feel like home. You say hello, you said you know this world Will let you down. You say goodbye, you're coming to find me Here to catch you. And everybody shows that everybody knows; Everybody lives to feel alive; and to feel it like the First time. And every breath is a choice that you gotta make. When you're falling apart at the seams with Everyday you wait. And you're gonna regret every chance that you Never take; and every second you let slip away. You say hello, I smile slow, it turns me inside out. You're beginning to feel like home. You're beginning to feel like home.

Sitting restless under the moonlight I know I'm getting ready to kill They say we're going in with the daylight I don't want to but I will Cause I won't know the man that kills me And I don't know these man I kill I pray to God for my salvation Wash away the blood I spill I try not to think about my family Cause it's a little too much take Now here I got me and I got my buddy Who can't afford even one mistake I'm sorry about writing on dirty cardboard It's the only paper I can find Tell everyone I got their letters Tell everyone I'm doing fine Late at night when I can dream I I think about life back in the world I miss you and Dad I miss sister Sarah I Miss my wife and baby girl Pray for me pray for my soul ma Pray for me and all my sins They say I got a job to do now And I'll be back when it finally ends Do you think I should be fighting? Mom are you proud are you ashamed I really am trying to do the right thing I hope my government can say the same Cause I won't know the man that kills me And I don't know these man that I kill Cause not one of us doing god's will
