lyrics

Quick As I Can
©2012 Moors & McCumber
A Little Bit Marvelous/Somewhere To Go Music

[Chorus]
Quick as I can, as quick as I can
I’m gonna come back home as quick as I can
As quick as I can, as quick as I can
I’m gonna come back home as quick as I can

Joined up in ’61, left behind a wife and son
To keep in step with the fife and drum
I fell in with the Iron Brigade, to fight them boys who wear the grey
We’ll be back in ninety days

[Chorus]
Quick as I can, as quick as I can
I’m gonna come back home as quick as I can
As quick as I can, as quick as I can
I’m gonna come back home as quick as I can

First stop was Rock County, Wisconsin Cavalry
Then train on down to misery
Mississippi to Cairo, then up to Paducah on the Ohio
Rendezvous with Grant at ole Shiloh

[Chorus]
Quick as I can, as quick as I can
I’m gonna come back home as quick as I can
As quick as I can, as quick as I can
I’m gonna come back home as quick as I can

April 1862, you know the devil’s day would come too soon
Colonel Moore gathered up his troops
We sang, “Brave boys are they”
As we buried our brothers in the blood soaked clay
Never again to see the light of day

[Chorus]
Quick as I can, as quick as I can
I’m gonna come back home as quick as I can
As quick as I can, as quick as I can
I’m gonna come back home as quick as I can

[Bridge]
My Wausau farm I may never see, if they bury me in Tennessee
Just bring these letters home for me, and give my love to my sweet family

[Chorus]
Quick as I can, as quick as I can
I’m gonna come back home as quick as I can
As quick as I can, as quick as I can
I’m gonna come back home as quick as I can

Moors & McCumber Boulder, Colorado

James Moors and Kort McCumber are Americana musicians who craft beautiful story songs that walk the line between rootsy folk and melodic pop. The two songwriters met at the Rocky Mountain Folks Festival in Lyons, CO in 2005. Sitting around swapping songs, they each heard something in the music of the other that just fit. The two have been performing and writing together ever since. ... more
