x2 then
on the road to spotsylvania
the sky grew dark and mean
when they placed you in the lineup?
you could not see a god damn thing
but it smelled like it might rain
and the rain, it should bring life boys
or at least a brief respite
well you can rest and wait for night boys
but keep your powder dry
or the rain will take your life
but through the tress i heard them coming
by the clank of their canteens
but since the rain softened the drum heads
you could hear the orders screamed
there they are boys make 'em bleed
well i took aim but at one really
but just a shape that caught my eye
and each time i pulled the trigger
there was no kick she did not fire
i did not keep my powder dry
and the rain...
we had never been so close as
to look them in the eye
some threw rocks and cursed the devil
while we waited there to die
me i pissed myself and cried
that the rain....
