Simple Times - Ghosts At War

I see and old barn in a field of green
Thinking about the stories that I've heard
About families fighting families, fathers fighting sons
Out on the battlefield of Gettysburg
If you sit there quietly as the sun goes down
And listen as the moon lights up the field
You can hear the conversations and the sounds of musket fire
All on the battlefields of Gettysburg
And the ghosts are still at war
The cannons still thunder
You can hear their echoes roar
The ghosts are still at war
You can hear the bugler's call
As the battle rages on
Cause the ghosts are still at war
I was walking through a house down on Baltimore Street
Looking at the bullet holes in the doors
On the third of July back in eighteen sixteen-three
Ms. Ginnie Wade lay dead upon the floor
And the ghosts are still at war
The cannons still thunder
You can hear their echoes roar
The ghosts are still at war
You can hear the bugler's call
As the battle rages on
Cause the ghosts are still at war
Ten thousand soldiers died in just three days
The young, the old, the weak and the strong
From the cemeteries, and unmarked graves
Their souls keep battling on
And the ghosts are still at war
The cannons still thunder
You can hear their echoes roar
The ghosts are still at war
You can hear the bugler's call
As the battle rages on
Cause the ghosts are still at war
The ghosts are still at war
The cannons still thunder
You can hear their echoes roar
The ghosts are still at war
You can hear the bugler's call
As the battle rages on
Cause the ghosts are still at war
