the War Was Over And The Spirit Was Broken

the Hills Were Smokin As The Men Withdrew

f

we Stood On The Cliffs

cg A9

oh, And Watched The Ships

bb Gm7

slowly Sinking To Their Rendezvous

f C9

they Signed A Treaty And Our Homes Were Taken

dm9 Ebmaj9

loved Ones Forsaken

they Didnt Give A Damn

tryn To Raise A Family

cg A9

end Up The Enemy

what A Way To Ride

bbdm7agm7 C7 F

oh, What A Way To Go







then Some Returned To The Motherland

the High Command Had Them Cast Away

and Some Stayed On To Finish What They Started

they Never Parted

theyre Just Built That Way

we Had Kin Livin South Of The Border

theyre A Little Older And Theyve Been Around

they Wrote A Letter Life Is A Whole Lot Better

so Pull Up Your Stakes, Children And Come On Down



fifteen Under Zero When The Day Became A Threat

my Clothes Were Wet And I Was Drenched To The Bone

been Out Ice Fishing, Too Much Repetition

make A Man Wanna Leave The Only Home Hes Known

sailing Out Of The Gulf Headin For Saint Pierre

nothin To Declare

all We Had Was Gone

broke Down Along The Coast

but What Hurt The Most

when The People There Said

&ampquot;you Better Keep Movin On&ampquot;



everlasting Summer Filled With Ill-Content

this Government Had Us Walkin In Chains

this Isnt My Turf

this Aint My Season

cant Think Of One Good Reason To Remain

ive Worked In The Sugar Fields Up From New Orleans

it Was Ever Green Up Until The Floods

you Could Call It An Omen

points Ya Where Youre Goin

set My Compass North

i Got Winter In My Blood



acadian Driftwood

gypsy Tail Wind

they Call My Home The Land Of Snow

canadian Cold Front Movin In

what A Way To Ride

ah, What A Way To Go
