Chad's Ford

Have you come to build or destroy?
You may just be ambushed
Jump the gun?
Or jump for joy?
Better jump before you're pushed

We wander both far and wide
Got to make it to the other side
We get what justice we can afford
Driving home backwards in  Chads Ford

Do you bloom where you are planted?
Or maybe you can flower elsewhere?
Take a spin for granted
Circle the wagons in Kennett Square

We wander both far and wide
Got to make it to the other side
We get the justice we can afford
Driving home backwards in  Chads Ford

Cold night
warm hearth
White light
Black arts
No time
Like now
Hot line
Know how

Take the ferry
Cross the Brandywine
Mercenaries
Drawing battle lines

Here come the regulars
Blades are in their sheaths
Hessians and competitors
Washington retreats

We wander both far and wide
Got to make it to the other side
We get the justice we can afford
Driving home backwards in  Chads Ford
