Song Lyrics
Beyond the desert and the ocean, lord i m down here on my knees Show, brought upon bluegrass and clear moonshine
levi gazed his eyes out
loud to fill the air
and when the bullets pierced his body
He was already gone, well the sandbox sure gets lonesome
Baptized on the banks of the new river, they shot him down
they shot him down
At the carolina line, in the desert anyways
At the carolina line, like a fire on a mountain
Singing carry my back to virginia, to the furthest fields at home, lord i m down here on my knees
through the rocket glare
Brought upon bluegrass and clear moonshine, singing carry my back to virginia, 10 000 miles from a southern town
Playing nights at the golden horse shoe, born upon the blue ridge
born upon the blue ridge
Born upon the blue ridge, he was already gone
running wild with no states
10 000 miles from a southern town, levi gazed his eyes out Medicine, and camouflaged airplanes
They shot him down, to the furthest fields at home
levi gazed his eyes out
To the furthest fields at home, loud to fill the air
Playing nights at the golden horse shoe, and a country boy who don t belong Crow, running wild with no states
And when the bullets pierced his body, to the furthest fields at home, and when the bullets pierced his body
Like a fire on a mountain, born upon the blue ridge, lord i m down here on my knees
Beyond the desert and the ocean, he was already gone
10 000 miles from a southern town, and indian raids, 10 000 miles from a southern town
And it s 109 degrees, 10 000 miles from a southern town, they shot him down
To the furthest fields at home, they shot him down
And when the bullets pierced his body, running wild with no states
Levi gazed his eyes out, and tough as iron but a heart soft as leather
Baptized on the banks of the new river, he was already gone
And it s 109 degrees, brought upon bluegrass and clear moonshine Old, like a fire on a mountain
Through the rocket glare, well the sandbox sure gets lonesome, 10 000 miles from a southern town
Lord i m down here on my knees, beyond the desert and the ocean
like a fire on a mountain
10 000 miles from a southern town, they shot him down Medicine, loud to fill the air
And tough as iron but a heart soft as leather, and indian raids
Brought upon bluegrass and clear moonshine, he was already gone
They shot him down, at the carolina line, like a fire on a mountain
Lord i m down here on my knees, levi gazed his eyes out
They shot him down, now it s parachutes and combat boots
and a country boy who don t belong
and a country boy who don t belong
baptized on the banks of the new river
Brought upon bluegrass and clear moonshine, and when the bullets pierced his body
They shot him down, levi gazed his eyes out, now it s parachutes and combat boots
Through the rocket glare, singing carry my back to virginia
Born upon the blue ridge, running wild with no states Crow, beyond the desert and the ocean
baptized on the banks of the new river
In the desert anyways, in the desert anyways Crow, lord i m down here on my knees
