Your mother died night you were born her name you never knew 
Look away 
Look away 
Nothing to loose

left east tenneessee at fourteen 
Wonderd to the west 
Look away
Look away 
Born into death 

you fought the salors in New Orleans
You worked the flat boats and walked the streets
Hit Nachdogdes in '49 
And there you saw the devil for the very first time 

(chorus) 
Kid don;t you know me 
We are the last of the true 
Drink up drink up 
Drink up drink up 
Cause tonight your souls required of you

Signed on with a stone mad captian rode on mexico
Look away 
Look away 
War behold
Jailed with killers one and all but we were killers free 
Look away
Look away 
Look to me 

you saw the lancers 'mid heathen hordes 
Bloodstained viels 
And costumes of war 
Hell ain't that full boy hear me 
War is the game and the god we seek 

(chorus)

(bridge)

we set out as men of reason armed with navy colts 
Look away
Look away
Work paid in gold 

but you stood witness to yourself our trial you did betray
Look away
Look away
To judgement day

we killed in the dessert we killed in the streets 
We choose what shall and shall not be 
We stood with pistols fought back to back
Now you've stood your ground but what ground is that 

(chorus)
