[Verse 1] Rolled into selma off Pettus Bridge Road Not far from the lost highway Hank sang about years ago Struck up a conversation with a wide haired colored man in overalls Reached my hand out my pocket I was watchin real close I cant say that I blame him this day in time you never know Yeah, this towns got a history of certain folks not gettin along [Verse 2] Started swappin stories about growin up round the swamp And the beauty of a Bama moonlight cuttin through trees covered in moss Then we caught ourselves not thinkin about the color of our skin Right there in black and white we put hate in its place again Hate in its plac again [Chorus] We both got scars that just wont heal We try to mov on, somethin happens and steals Hope for change, strength to the love And forget At night in Selma simple men talked Left some things buried deep in the swamp Both found out were not enemies For a moment in time lived another mans dream [Bridge] We cant undo whats already been done Only one thing can break the chains, thats love Only one thing can bring the change, and thats love [Chorus] We both got scars that just wont heal We try to move on, somethin happens and steals Hope for change, strength to the love And forget That night in Selma simple men talked Left some things buried deep in the swamp Both found out were not enemies For a moment in time lived another mans dream For a moment in time lived another mans dream
