We saw it through until the end of Chickamauga
Headed west in '64
We been moving since the war wound down
We ain't running anymore
Had it coming a long time
Had been coming a long time

Pinned down with our backs to the wall
This ammo belt is all I got
If you can get me to the horses out there
Maybe then we got a shot
Had it coming a long time
Had it coming a long time

Cover me
We're getting out
On the count of three
Cover me, cover, cover me

There was a time when they couldn't get close enough
To catch us in the open like this
There comes a time for everyone's son

But for us this isn't it
Had it coming a long time
Had it coming a long time

Cover me
We're getting out
On the count of three
Cover me, cover me, cover me

Daylight is fading
It's time we move on
I plan on escaping
And I'm not going back alone
Ain't going back alone
Ain't going back alone
Ain't going back alone

Had it coming a long time
Had it coming a long time

Cover me
We're getting out
On the count of three
Cover me

Cover me
We're getting out
On the count of three
Cover me, cover me, cover me
