Beside the Point

lyrics

It was ‘62 on a summer day
When Jeb Stuart’s men took my baby away
I don’t know what they’ve done with her
But she'll come back again okay

Yankee recruiter come to my door
Asked me if I was a patriot
I happened to be gettin’ kinda bored
So I told him why the hell not

Ulysses Grant is a drunken fool
And when he’s sober he’s just as cruel
But I’ll tell of something its evident
That he’ll be running for president

I met a guy named Walt
At an army hospital
He told we’re all alive and well somewhere
Lying in the grass

Now Walt’s a better man than me
That’s something I can clearly see
Without his goddamn poetry
But that’s beside the point

You will hardly know who I am
You will hardly know what I mean
I stop somewhere waiting for you
And my words itch at your ears
Here we are in the grass
Lying in the grass

They left me alone
In a ditch in Tennessee
With no one much for company
By a roadside that was bare of trees
From all the shells they’d dropped on me
But that’s beside the point

That's beside the point
