My Father's Father
The Civil Wars

I hear something hangin' on the wind

I see black smoke up around the bend

I got my ticket and I'm going to go

Home


The leaves have changed a time or two

Since the last time the train came through

I got my ticket and I'm going to go

Home


My father's father's blood's on the tracks

A sweet refrain drifts in from the past

I got my ticket and I'm going to go


Home


The winding roads that led me here

Burn like coal and dry like tears

So here's my hope, my tired soul

And here's my ticket, I want to go


Home
