Verse 1
We packed our few

To start a new life in this

Dispersed from Ellis Island,

Eyes cut to the future,

heart's tied to the past
C
Verse 2

We held tight to our loved ones
and we held on to the promise

And we scraped our meager

every doubting John Thomas

Bm
And I hear we weren't welcomed here,
D
at least not in those days
Em
No one needs our drunken,

fighting, thieving kind
Em
But we settled in this new place

and we worked it in our ways
Em
D
And spread our kin upon it in due time

and we held onto our ways
C
And we talk of how we left behind
G

Some were living lives of leisure,
G
D
some surviving hand to mouth
Em
Bash our heads against the future,
Em
Bash our heads against the future

Verse 5
Em
When I set my sights upon you,
D
we were both still in our prime
Em
We were moving in big circles
D
that I sought out to combine
Em
And I held you in my arms and
D
swore eternal love this time
Em
Tried to lasso brighter futures
D
and let it drag us both behind
Em
Lasso brighter futures,
D
let it drag us both behind

Verse 6

So we aimed our sights westward
G
like so many did before
D

Expanding our horizons to
G

some distant shore

Where everyone takes notice of
G

the drawl that leaves our mouth
Em
So that no matter where we are

No matter where we are we're

Verse 7
Em
Now my Christian Southern brethren

will tell you all what for

To keep your heathen ways up in you

Verse 8
D
Em
But despite our best intentions,
Em
We keep swinging for the fences,

the graveyard looking down

Whistling past the graveyard

Verse 9
C
Ever Southern in my carriage,
G

ever southern in my stance

In the Irish of my complexion
G

In the way I bang my head against

Let this blue eyed southern devil
G

Tell you stories of our fathers and

D
the glories of our house
Em
Always told a little slower,
