The Civil War is Over
The civil war is over
Go back to your corners
The losers always want to fight things over
He still rides to town on a pale horse
Give me all your anger
And I'll bury it like a treasure
900 miles from Gettysburg
In the heart of a Muskoka soldier
Who rides past Kelsey's strip bar
Who doesn't believe in Walmart
As a kid he'd rebel yell through Algonquin park
Chasing ghosts into the deep dark
Into the deep dark
Into the deep dark
He still lives in the same cabin
Johnny Rebel at 14
Johnny Lunatic at 85
He'll never see the South rise
He's always on the loosing side
But nothing is over
In the dog days of summer
The pale horse moves a little slower
While tourists drink at Kelsey's strip bar
Nothing is over
Nothing is over
Go back to your corners
The losers always want to fight things over
He still rides to town on a pale horse
Give me all your anger
And I'll bury it like a treasure
900 miles from Gettysburg
In the heart of a Muskoka soldier
Who rides past Kelsey's strip bar
Who doesn't believe in Walmart
As a kid he'd rebel yell through Algonquin park
Chasing ghosts into the deep dark
Into the deep dark
Into the deep dark
He still lives in the same cabin
Johnny Rebel at 14
Johnny Lunatic at 85
He'll never see the South rise
He's always on the loosing side
But nothing is over
In the dog days of summer
The pale horse moves a little slower
While tourists drink at Kelsey's strip bar
Nothing is over
Nothing is over
