Intro Am* | Am* || Intro N.C. Oh, well, we run to the break of day, N.C. the old man groaned as we rolled away. N.C. Our women wept as we sped on by, N.C. we hung our heads low as they raised their flags high. Verse 1 Am Am Then we grabbed our guns and we shot away, Am Am let's k*ll our brothers on a Saturday. Am Am Blood spills out and our wounds were deep, Am* Old Jesse James, well, he won't even take a peep. Chorus Am So, then we go on down that road, Am* Am breakin' your backs and breakin' your souls, Am* Am breakin' your backs and breakin' your souls, Am* N.C. mama said I'd die before I get old. Interlude Am* | Am* | Am* | Am* || Verse 2 Am Am The war is over and the graves were deep, Am Am the sun was down just like my brother Rim's keep. Am Am You burned my house and you raped my wife, Am* I fall to my knees and I pray to the Lord N.C. that I can k*ll that f*cker tonight! Chorus Am So, then we go on down that road, Am* Am breakin' your backs and breakin' your souls, Am* Am breakin' your backs and breakin' your souls, Am* N.C. mama said I'd die before I get old.
