Lyrics

Sittin' restless under the moonlight
I know I'm gettin' ready to kill
They say we're goin' in with the daylight
Ma I don't want to but
I will'Cause
I don't know the man that kills me
And I don't know these men
I killI pray to
God for my salvation
Wash away the blood
I spilledI try not to think about my family'
Cause it's a little too much to take
Out here I got me and
I got my buddy
We can't afford even one mistake
Sorry about writin' on dirty cardboard
It's the only paper that
I could find
Tell everyone
I got their letters
Tell everyone
I'm doin' fine
Late at night when
I can dream,
MaI think about life back in the world
I miss you and
Dad, I miss sister
SarahI miss my wife and my baby girl
Pray for me, pray for my soul,
MaPray for me and all my sins
They say that
I got a job to do now
And I'll be back when it finally ends
Do you think
I should be fighting?
Ma are you proud, are you ashamed
Really I'm tryin' to do the right thing
I hope my government can say the same'
Cause I won't know the man that kills me
And I don't know these men
I killWe all wind up on the same side'
Cause ain't none of us doin'
God's will
