war between Texas and Mexico
Lyrics
Soft guitar, low wind (oh-oh)
(mmm)
Dust on the ledger, names in the sand
They drew their lines with trembling hands
Cattle and corn, a promise and a claim
Two languages calling the very same name
San Antonio sunrise, smoke on the rise
Children learning flags they didn't recognize
Old men at the crossroads, teacups grow cold
Stories traded like bullets — hard and told
We swore on the skyline, we swore on the bone
Letters folded tight, sent back home (home)
The bells kept on ringing, the horses kept on runnin'
Feet on the earth, and the morning kept on comin' (comin')
Two flags over the dust, two flags over the plain (over the plain)
Two songs in the night, two names in the rain (two names in the rain)
Who will carry the children, who will count the cost?
Who will remember the lines that we crossed?
Two flags over the dust, two flags over the plain (yeah, yeah)
Smoke and a courthouse, a prayer by the gate
Men traded a lifetime for minutes of fate
The Alamo heartbeat, the cannon's last cry
Letters burned slowly while mothers ask why
Ranches and rivers, they mark where we stood
A fence or a promise, a wrong or some good
Maps with red ink and gardens with weeds
Lessons that sell for the price of our needs
Oh—listen— (listen)
There's a child on the porch with a stone in his hand
He doesn't know borders, just the shape of the land
Oh—listen— (listen)
The old talk in taverns, the young sleep with dreams
No treaty can teach what a living thing means
Two flags over the dust, two flags over the plain (over the plain)
Two songs in the night, two names in the rain (two names in the rain)
Who will carry the children, who will count the cost?
Who will remember the lines that we crossed?
Two flags over the dust, two flags over the plain (oh-oh)
Two flags over the dust, two flags over the plain (alright, alright)Guitar fading, wind with a name (with a name)
Footsteps going home, some the same, some not the same (mmm)
Two flags in the sun—two stories remain (yeah)
Two flags over the dust.
