To My Dearest Wife

Waiting on the sunrise, I've given up on sleep

My only thoughts are with you all back home in Tennessee

They're dug in on the hilltop, we got cover in the trees

Between the two an open field that looks like hell to me

And to my dearest wife I write

Kiss our baby girls tonight

Tomorrow's battle will not wait

I don't see no other way

I could see in the old house, not too long ago

Every night slip back outside, happy just being home

Come here, I'm calling reveling, I can see the sun

It breaks my heart, we're kept apart, still fighting to be done

And to my dearest wife I write

Kiss our baby girls tonight

Tomorrow's battle will not wait

I don't see no other way

My eyes have seen the glory

The glory of the coming of the Lord

And he is trampling at the vintage

The vintage where the grapes of wrath are stored

Now the sun is risen, you mean the world to me

My thoughts must turn to work at hand, far from Tennessee

They're dug in on the hilltop, we leave the cover of the trees

We'll march across that open field that looks like hell to me

And to my dearest wife I write

Kiss our baby girls tonight

Tomorrow's battle will not wait

I don't see no other way

We [?] we're spreading fire

Hand in hand [?]

We'll cross the field, lay all to waste

I don't see no other way

And to my dearest wife I write

Kiss our baby girls tonight
