One last time
Relax, have a drink with me
One last time
Let’s take a break tonight
And then we’ll teach them how to say goodbye
To say goodbye
You and I
I was younger than you are now
When I was given my first command
I led my men straight into a massacre
I witnessed their deaths firsthandI made every mistake
I felt the shame rise in meAnd even now I lie awake
Knowing history has it's eyes on me
Check it—
Can I be real a second?For just a millisecond?
Let down my guard and tell the people how I feel a second?
Now I’m the model of a modern major general
The venerated Virginian veteran whose men are all
Lining up, to put me up on a pedestalWritin’ letters to relatives
Embellishin’ my elegance and eloquenceBut the elephant is in the room
The truth is in ya face when ya hear the British cannons go…
Boom!
