Sawyer Brown - Another Side Lyrics

I HATE WARS! DAMN EM TO HELL! BUT I SO LOVE SAWYER BROWN AND AM FROM INDIA!

Its an okay song but whatever.

I have this on one of their CDs, but hadn't seen the video before. Wow! (My ex used to be a Civil War renacter. I attended a couple of the events. We were confederate sympathizers for the weekend. (He still is.)

Deo Vindice!

Your music is such a gift to all of us. Thank you and God bless!

Such a powerful story. I think this is a message most soldiers in the civil war would have agreed with. I certainly agreed with it now. It is almost as if America is in another civil war now and I wish we could put our pride aside, take a breath, and agree to figure out what will really make this country great again

I wish there was another side to the binary, divisive rhetoric about the statue- Silent Sam at UNC-CH, and the hate from both sides.

Dang this Southern pride... that's all you need to know. The American Civil was a part two of the English Civil War, the English (Yankees) and the Irish, Scots (the South) just look at the names.

This guy sounds like Gordon Lightfoot when he was a young man.

damn i use to love this song, actually forgot it.

jews start &finance all wars. make a fast buck is all theywant

Stupid untrue and completely out of line

Well Bernie Sanders Supporters, what do you think about this side of the issue now? btw Greets from Connecticut.

he does't give a damn, just another political hack, may he burn...

My son played the main soldier in this. I was so sad when CMT felt like they couldn't run it . It has a message that really reverberates in our country now when it seems like we are in a modern day civil war. We are all wishing for " Another side "

I used play this for my history classes!

his Dad was in the queens navy

my Great grandfather was confederate

my Great grandfather was confederate

My Great, Great, Great Grandpa Andrew Walker Hays was a Confederate.

Tom Akers I'm not sure. All I know is that he escaped from a pow camp and he had sunk a union ship

Great song love playing it on my guitar

this song kicks my ass

Reminds us what they went through back in those years.Love this video

Love it

This is a beautifully made video. Tells the story well. Poignant and sobering. Thank you.

love it great song

Can someone post the lyrics to this awesome song that's pays tribute to our dead Confederate comrades our boys 🏤😿

We came out from Sheffield and they put us on the line
You could smell the powder burning; man, it hurt my eyes
They knew them boys were tired and weak
We were fresh and we were strong
We could not wait to blast away and make our presence known
But every time I took my aim and got one in my sight
In my heart I knew the way and this way was not right

I guess my daddy would be proud but my mama she's ashamed
And I know deep down we need a change
Them Northern boys are friends of mine but I've got my Southern pride
I'm standing here a fighting wishing there was another side

We burned each other's crops and fields and took the very best
We fought our way back and forth and they put us to the test
I know that some things were wrong but what gave them the right
To point their righteous fingers and expect us not to fight?
We all cried on the night they burned Atlanta down
How much more can we take and still stand our ground?

Well, I guess my daddy would be proud but my mama she's ashamed
And I know deep down we need a change
Them colored boys are friends of mine but I've got my Southern pride
I'm standing here a'fighting wishing there was another side

In four years the smoke had cleared and I went back to the farm
Little brother met me at the bridge and he held out his arms
He was thin and weak and wounded and dressed in Yankee blue
Well, I cried and I held him and together we both knew
If it could be done other there would be a better way
Still one family and one nation oh but what a price we paid

I guess my daddy would be proud but my mama she's ashamed
And I know deep down we need a change
Now some of them boys were friends of mine but dang this Southern pride
I'm standing here a'crying wishing there was another side
I'm wishing there was another side, wishing there was other side

I always thought it was "I cried and I hailed him in and together we both knew", and actually the video makes that reference more. They met back at the farm, on Southern land, with the little brother being the Yankee. He Hailed him to say I respected your service and we are family.

Some of the words got changed, it should be "some of those colored boys were friends of mine but danged this southern pride"   Still remember this when it first came out.

It still has that line.  The first chorus says, "Northern."  The second says, "colored" ( 2:48 point).

Thank you so very much for posting this video :-)

wolven outcast furry

sorry  it hits home.....

I've never seen the official video of this great song. Thank you for posting. I hits home in so many ways.

This song was banned from the radio stations after it became a hit. I think it was a very good song.

It was banned because it didn't make the top 40. It was never a hit.

ditto 

I havn't seen the official video since it was aired on CMT years ago. GREAT upload. Don't know where you found it, but good video.
