Hovace (feat. Isaac Hadden)

They're taking all the brothers and shipping them off to war

I had it all figured out, I'd watch the carnage from shore

I enlisted to the navy, shipped off to see the world

You shoulda seen this young black man giving those Filipino girls a whirl

Left my home in sweet Virginia

The Blue Ridge Mountains to the Gulf of Mississippi

When that water started rising, man, that feeling just a-hit me

I'm a stone cold brotha, I love 'em and leave 'em alone

In Pritchard, Alabama, where it all began

My daddy out running 'round, my mama had a steel hand

I love the women all over this land, but I'm gonna love 'em and leave 'em

Now, son, don't you understand? Ohh

Left my home in sweet Virginia

The Blue Ridge Mountains to the Gulf of Mississippi

When that water started rising, man, that feeling just a-hit me

I'm a stone cold brotha, I love 'em and leave 'em alone
