Waiting For Dawn Lyrics - Bobby Long

guns firing on a ridge down onto a quiet town 

wind bellows up smoke to the breakdown in the blood soaked dawn 

me and my friend we headed up to where they had set up 

the shells dug up the sand as they let up 

he shot two and I held them down 

we chased them off early we held the sway, what I mean to say 

is they lost their way, and they're out there now in the firing dark 

and I hear them, and I think I see them coming 

we're waiting, we're hiding, they're running 

and we'll stay here until the dawn 

later on we dreamt it was over but we saw the drover 

in the middle they were ducking for cover, so we laid back down 

they must of felt the coming of shadow and they were all aglow 

near our burrow, and in the moon light we shot them down
