lyrics

I went down to Buckeystown
I been there before
I once had a girl down there
when I was young and poor
Maybe she's forgotten me
Lord it's been so long
Two sides to every story
Even if one of 'em is wrong

River called Monocacy runs
through the valley there
Blue and grey coat soldiers
died in the same place where
I turned to dust
she was movin' on
Two sides to every story
Even if one of 'em is wrong

They tell me she married a man from Feigaville
It don't matter much to me
Cause I never
Set eyes on her family or suffer from the law
Two sides to every story
Even if one of 'em is wrong

Now the road it's empty
Sharpstown to Gettysburg
Smoke lies heavy
From the guns that I heard
Can you tell me my brother
Can you tell me my friend
Why the beginning
Looks just like
like the end

She said she had no reason
for tellin' me goodbye
Perhaps she found it pleasin'
to see a young man cry
Now I'm heading back there
shake off that last straw
Two sides to every story
Even if one of 'em is wrong

Might be the bridge at Sheperdstown
by the railroad track
Two of us might go there one might come back
I'm just a gray haired stranger
Studyin' the war
Two sides to every story even if
one of 'em is wrong

Now the road it's empty
Sharpstown to Gettysburg
Smoke lies heavy
From the guns that I heard
Can you tell me my brother
Can you tell me my friend
Why the beginning
Is just like
like the end

about

Levi Stevenson Baton Rouge, Louisiana

Here's what I know. Went to Asheville late summer 2006. Had mountains out my window till you couldn't see any further. Went to where rivers begin as drips off leaves and morning dew. Walked through streets that I realized I'd already seen many times before in my dreams… And when I got home, I was able to separate the music from the noise. ... more
