Ole GEM The War Mule
[Verse] Dust on her hooves dust on her back High in the peaks on a narrow track Carried the weight carried the fight Through the shadows through the night [Chorus] Ole GEM she walks steady and true Through the fire through the blue Once a soldier now she glides Pulling dreams through Chattanooga nights [Verse 2] Mountains whispered winds would cry Under the burden she'd never sigh Wounded hearts across her spine One step one life one climb [Prechorus] A hero's load a hero's heart Every journey tears apart [Chorus] Ole GEM she walks steady and true Through the fire through the blue Once a soldier now she glides Pulling dreams through Chattanooga nights [Instrumental Interlude] [Bridge] Now the cobblestones don't bite her heels No more weight just the iron wheels Children laugh lovers sway In her carriage, they drift away [Instrumental Finale] |
