STARS AND BARRES

rock ballads about living in the south

This is a collection of songs grouped by theme more than by style - my impressions of living in the deep south, still with the legacy of the Civil War.

Story behind the song

When I lived in Tallahassee, Fla. they would reinact the Battle of Natural Bridge every year - a Civil War battle. This is one of 3 songs I wrote about this.

Lyrics

Blue jays squabble in the distance
Gray squirrels scramble on the limbs of their trees 

     It was a blue day
     On the red clay
     For the Blue and gray

Fences still standing - they don't forget
Lighthouse waits for the fog to lift on the coast

     Sherman burned
     Georgia, we learned
     The tide's been turned

Twenty-five hundred waiting for orders
Distant cloud coming cross the border from Virginia

     And the next day
     Is a blue day
     For the men in gray
