Cannons Roar At Gettysburg

Verse 1 (0:00 - 0:35)
Cannons roar at Gettysburg, the air’s thick with lead,
I’m clutchin’ my rifle, heart heavy with dread.
I see her in the sunrise, my Sarah’s gentle face,
Tillin’ our Virginia soil, our quiet, sacred place. 
Chorus (0:35 - 1:05)
Why am I here, in this hell far from home?
Where the boys fall like wheat ‘neath a blood-red dome.
My kids’ laughter haunts me, in the fields we used to roam,
I’m fightin’ for somethin’, but I’m longin’ for home. 
Verse 2 (1:05 - 1:40)
The bugle’s call is fadin’, smoke stings my eyes,
I hear my little Mary sing her mama’s lullabies.
We’d plow the rows together, sweat and love in the clay,
Now I’m stuck in this madness, prayin’ for yesterday. 
Chorus (1:40 - 2:10)
Why am I here, in this hell far from home?
Where the boys fall like wheat ‘neath a blood-red dome.
My kids’ laughter haunts me, in the fields we used to roam,
I’m fightin’ for somethin’, but I’m longin’ for home. 
Bridge (2:10 - 2:30)
The preacher said it’s duty, but the cause feels so far,
Just wanna hold my family ‘neath a blanket of stars.
If I fall on this hill, Lord, let them know I tried,
To make it back to the fields where my heart still resides. 
Chorus (2:30 - 3:00)
Why am I here, in this hell far from home?
Where the boys fall like wheat ‘neath a blood-red dome.
My kids’ laughter haunts me, in the fields we used to roam,
I’m fightin’ for somethin’, but I’m longin’ for home. 
Outro (3:00 - 3:20)
Yeah, I’m longin’ for home… my fields of home.
