Sawyer Fredericks Turning The Shoulder
[Verse 1]
Crying all night Saturday
'Cause my back is up against the well
Guess it's one of my [?]
No, at least I did not hit the floor
[Refrain]
I looked away
He was turning the shoulder
I remember mother saying
"Just remember I told you to fight
Your wars
He will not fight yours"
She said, "Oh your daddy is a great man
But he will not fight for you
Oh his battles are the ones that can end
Not ones he wants to"
[Instrumental]
[Verse 2]
Pulled me out into the crowd
'Cause you think I should be more like them
I don't want, not, to let you down
But I don't think you understand
[Refrain]
I looked away
Turning the shoulder
I remember mother saying
"Don't feel like I have chosen now
Fight my wars
They won't fight for themselves
Oh, my family has a great name
But it will not stay with you"
[Instrumental]
[Refrain]
I looked away
He was turning the shoulder
I remember mother saying
"Just remember, I told you to fight
Your wars
He will not fight yours"
But she said, "Oh, your daddy is a great man
But he will not fight for you"
