Paul Hansen - Doc McGraw Lyrics

I'll go get Doc McGraw
Before he's in his cups
I'll go get the sawbones
So he can sew you up

We heard the bullets flying
A little bit past noon
The blood it hit the floor
Down at Bart's saloon

Go now and grab the doctor
Before he's in his cups
Despite you were a Redleg
He will sew you up

Jayhawkers and Bushwhackers
Missouri bleeding Kansas
Drinking down memories
Because they just
Can't stand it
The war now in the past
The war now in a glass
They never get too far
From all the battle scars

The afternoon was peaceful
The gunshots broke the lull
Mixing words and whiskey
And talk of Bill Quantrill

The pain carved on his face
Outcast and out of place
They share the same dark story
The bloodshed with no glory

Their worn down ask the dust
Spurs worn down ask the rust
Eyes look out through a haze
Praying for end of days

Cast from the Garden it was deemed
The fall of man the devil's scheme

We heard the bullets flying
A little bit past noon
The blood it hit the floor
Down at Bart's saloon

So I'll go get the doctor
Before he's in his cups
Despite you were a Redleg
He will sew you up

The pain carved on their face
Outcast and out of place
The fire scorched their path
They hear the demon laugh

Jayhawkers and Bushwhackers
Missouri bleeding Kansas
Drinking down memories
And all the things life hands us
The war now in the past
Stuck in the shadows cast
They never get too far
From all the battle scars

Behind their eyes dark secrets
At the brink to they're full
What's a man's breaking point
Or the weight he can pull
