Homemade lives and handmade stills
Freedom’s roots run deep in these old hills
Duty calls me down this river road
To fulfill a soldier’s code

Brandywine
Covered bridge
Runs through fog
Ridge to ridge
And is it the wind
Calling from within
Or something more divine
In the Brandywine
Covered Bridge

Soldier’s fam’lies lived out this way
Before the first Independence Day
And when they need to be notified
It’s a lonely, haunted ride

Brandywine
Covered bridge
Runs through fog
Ridge to ridge
And is it the wind
Calling from within
Or something more divine
In the Brandywine
Covered Bridge

They say when a soldier crosses over
Faith and bravery survives
Somehow these old planks and cobblestones
Saved the echoes of their lives

Brandywine
Covered bridge
Runs through fog
Ridge to ridge
And is it the wind
Calling from within
Or something more divine
In the Brandywine
Covered Bridge

O the Brandywine
Covered bridge
Runs through fog
Ridge to ridge
And is it the wind
Calling from within
Or something more divine
In the Brandywine
Covered Bridge
