Underdog
Away from the stagecoaches the dark railroad
Forgotten deer trails where the runaways go
I'll cover their tracks while they sleep under logs
I'm the keeper of the lantern the unnamed underdog
Unseen underdog
It's a world of danger right under the feet
Of slave drivers that kill over cotton and wheat
I know I'm right but the world around me stays wrong
I'm the keeper of the lantern the unnamed underdog
Unseen underdog
I can't say much about where I've been
Not in your history books imagine the trouble I'd be in
Just let them think it's distant leaves shaking at dawn
I'm the keeper of the lantern the unnamed underdog
Unseen underdog
You may see symbols a forgotten language
Very few can understand
Found where the shallow ones are not likely to impinge
Say hello when you cross into the fringe
In a deep south state it's mighty dangerous to disagree
With wealthy overlords of the land and the sea
But I know the forest even better than the wild hogs
I'm the keeper of the lantern the unnamed underdog
Unseen underdog
Forgotten deer trails where the runaways go
I'll cover their tracks while they sleep under logs
I'm the keeper of the lantern the unnamed underdog
Unseen underdog
It's a world of danger right under the feet
Of slave drivers that kill over cotton and wheat
I know I'm right but the world around me stays wrong
I'm the keeper of the lantern the unnamed underdog
Unseen underdog
I can't say much about where I've been
Not in your history books imagine the trouble I'd be in
Just let them think it's distant leaves shaking at dawn
I'm the keeper of the lantern the unnamed underdog
Unseen underdog
You may see symbols a forgotten language
Very few can understand
Found where the shallow ones are not likely to impinge
Say hello when you cross into the fringe
In a deep south state it's mighty dangerous to disagree
With wealthy overlords of the land and the sea
But I know the forest even better than the wild hogs
I'm the keeper of the lantern the unnamed underdog
Unseen underdog
